520 = piece of mind. The smaller chain means constant stretching/adjusting which means more sprocket wear, and a neglected 428 might break. A high quality 520 O-ring should only need one adjustment after break-in, and just replace it if it looks like it needs a second adjustment. If you do your sprockets will last forever. Also I don't lube any of my offroad chains, you're just putting glue on there for sediment to stick to. It can get a little expensive replacing the chain every year especially if you own a few bikes. But not having to worry about your chain and sprockets or breakage = priceless.

Time to revisit the adjustable preload caps i found a few weeks ago.
To start, I ordered the allen head versions, so naturally I get sent the standard hex head. Not a huge problem, I am happy either way. Side by side shot. If you don't already have different preload spacers or find the Hawk units are good for you, then with these you would basically replace them. They add about 12mm (est) of preload even with the adjustment screws all the way out. Then you can add about another 20mm of preload on top of that with the adjuster all the way in. The only other difference is the size of the hex head for the cap itself, which is 19mm vs. the original caps 17mm. As far as fitment. They fit perfectly. The washer on the end that pushes against the spring has a small cotter pin that you will need to bend the legs around more so they sit inside of the spring ID. Otherwise, they are perfect.

I keep my expenses low specifically to feed my weird obsession with modifications and motorcycles.

Oh we have a cheap local diner we like to frequent about once a week. Lots of food for a very reasonable price. Usually lunch costs no more than 35 with tip included. It just depends where you go. It isn't hard to spend $70 at a "nicer" place though.

Texas Roadhouse tonight. 2 thick bone in ribeyes with a side of ribs, 2 sides and loaded potato skins for an appetizer. Add on 3 margaritas with with Patrone double shots in each totalled $105 with 15% tip.
My father got very frugal with breakfast because it was 5 days a week in Florida. $2.10 for eggs toast and coffee with orange juice. And he bitched if I added on bacon or ham. He seen it as almost a competition between him and the other snowbirds. But let's get back to Dan's original post. He continues to amaze on a regular basis.
