Hi all.
i own a 1999 R1 and am trying to find some nice fancy drive chain adjusters.
The ones I would like only start at 2003 models.
Does anyone know if the swing arms are the same and if these will fit my 1999.
They look very similar?
Many thanks in advance.

I think the rear spindle is a different diameter on the 2002-2004 R1s , but im not sure.

Thanks, will have a look later. Yes we do Buryhill quite a bit. Bit easier trying to park than loomies.
Alton cafe on a Wednesday eve is another fav.
Poole quay is a good one too but again plod everywhere on the way out.

Ah right. Can't check Jompys spelling on the phone [emoji23]We are rare. I blame the Barry's.
Weekend breakfasts at Loomies for that reason for a few of us. Whiteways I'll check out one day. Its on the radar.

Yes they arrived and they do not fit.. I took a chance but your right the inside measurement of the swing arm where the standard chain adjusters go is more narrow then on a 2003 model.. Never mind, they can go back up for grabs.. Thanks anyway mate
