Title: need to borrow a chain breaker in Seattle
Post by: Metty on June 04, 2009, 05:39:11 PM
hey all, im driving my new 2004 GS500F across the country back to NC over the next month. here is a link to my ADV thread if you interested http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=468437&highlight=metty

anyway, i need to put a new chain and sprockets on the bike while im here. parts will be here tomorrow, but i realized that my chain breaker is back in nc  :sad:
i think i can change it without it, but it would be super sweet if i could come over and use someones tomorrow or this weekend. if you can please call me at 919 235 7370 as i wont be on the computer much.
thanks
jon metty
