Chain adjusters with stand bobbins
 

Hi all,

My name is Adam Pike, as well as being a aerospace stress engineer I run a small business in the East Midlands (UK) called Motopike Ltd. I design my own range of bike parts for various bikes using my Factory Racing Component s registered trademark and Ive recently developed a chain adjuster and paddock stand bobbin system for the Yamaha R125.
You may ask what I doing on this forum?....Ive noticed that the XT600X smoto seems to use exactly the same type of chain adjusters and was wondering if there is UK based rider who would be interested in trial fitting some for me so I can see if they are suitable.
The main advantage of my revised chain adjuster design is that they accept standard paddock stand bobbins (or crash bobbins), which will stay in-situ even when the rear wheel spindle is removed. They also allows easier access to the adjusters (at the rear) .
I am also machining some forked plates for quick lifting, though these will follow in a month or so.

Please PM me if you think you can help.

Cheers,

I forgot to mention I think the adjusters will only fit the later bikes with the cast swingarm and recessed adjusters

My main concern is that the item you are working on and offering people to test is not like a set of exhaust that even if one breaks and falls off, it's not likely to cause an accident to the rider.

However a mechanical part such as the chain tensioner on the swingarm as nice as it looks and I do admit it looks great, should be BS approved before been given out to people to test, beacuse my worry is that in case of failure, who will be responsible for the liability of a back wheel becoming loose or uneven at speed? If such appliance is not tested by approved centres that can guarantee it'll work under load and stress, I wouldn't want the authorities to come here and say, someone got injured because of a freebe that they've obtained through your website / forum. Next thing I know the old bill is at my door reading me my rights, been there done that, I don't want to see them again.

I personally would not like to take that risk, or offer members of this forum to undertake testing of something which is not been BS approved. Please clarify your position in respect to this matter, thanks

Furthermore as this post is not related to the section in which it was posted, as this is the Newbies Reception where new members introduce themselves to the others, I am having to move it to a more appropriate section and leave a redirecting link for a couple of days awaiting to see if you have got your product certified otherwise I'm afraid it's bound to Room 101

Many thanks
