Loobman Chainoiler: The Fitting
Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2008 10:30 am
Right, now we've all got the Loobman's, who's going to do the fitting?
I opened mine last night to be greeted by what looks like an Airfix kit of a brewery. OK, so it was getting too dark to really see what I was doing, so I just spent a few mins thinking about how to locate it, rather than assembling it.
It looks to me like the best bet for my 9r (and I think it'll be the same on the 400) will be either on the back of the pillion footpeg, or the best seems to be on the exposed bit of the subframe.
I shall be intending to take lots of pics when I fit it, and it'd be helpful if you lot could, too!
A couple of problems I might have are that not having a chain gaurd might scupper my tube routing, and as I'm not planning on keeping this bike for much longer, if any part of the fitment looks too permanent I'm going to leave it until I have a new bike...
