Broken chain adjuster.
 
Are the chain adjuster units in a curvies swingarm the same for each year? I have a k1 and the ones on flebay ATM are for a 99 or a k2 I think

Yes they are.

What do you need? The end cap for the swingarm or the internal chain adjusters

H'mm you'll need to get that allen bolt out somehow, either drill the head off it, or cut a slot in it.

But it sounds pretty stuck, in which case the easiest thing is to take the spindle out and tap the adjuster so that the end cap comes off the swingarm.
Then you can cut the head off the bolt easily

I've got a spare adjuster block in the garage, I might have a spare bolt as well. PM me your address if you need it and I'll get my wife to pop it in the post.

All I'll ask for is the cost of postage

Bolt is just a normal M8 anyway IIRC. Sure I've put some stainless in there for someone at some point. (photographic memory me LOL)
