Thanks. I am adjusting the slack to be on the high side before tightening the axle bolt to compensate for any differences once lowered. Even if a leave a ton of slack, tightening the axle bolt removes every bit of slack from the chain. If only there was a locking nutt in the chain adjustment that would prevent the axle from sliding rearward while tightening the axle bolt, I'd be golden the first time. But the swingarm axle chain adjustment sliders just automatically move rearward while tightening the axle bolt and ends up removing every bit of slack I set. Its seriously wearing me out!
