:cry: NOT A HAPPY EASTER BUNNY!
After fitting my Power Commander,I went for a ride and was VERY pleased with the results!
When I got home,I thought to myself,"I know,I think it's time to adjust my chain!"
So I started to,only to find the axle nut was very tight,and with nobody to help hold the bike,I held the front brake on,and stood on the ratchet to undo said nut.
I then noticed after nut moved round half a turn,that the adjuster slider/bracket had deformed,and turned with the nut,scraping across my nice black swing arm,revealing shiny aluminium under the paint!!!!!
The moral of this story is: If the nut's too tight,get someone else to hold the brake on whilst you CAREFULLY undo the nut.
I'm going out now to cry in a pint or twelve! :cry:
