anyone know off hand the amount of freeplay in a properly tightened chain? Pretty sure mine's not been tightend yet (it's a '96...) cause it flops around quite a bit. My nighthawk spec'd 3/4" movement as correct...and I'm guessing this is about right for this bike too. And what's up with the safety bolts? Granted I don't want my back wheel flying off, but I thought that was a race bike thing? I actually questioned the guy I bought it from if it had been raced, but then I checked out some other GS's and I guess they just come stock that way... Better safe than splattered, I guess.... ;)

A bit tight, probably should shoot for 1 inch. I do.
