Having wieght on the bike is hard to accomplish as a one man show. I wanted my slack set at 3/4" and found with help ONE night that if I set it to 1" slack with no weight,that when I sit on it the chain tightens to the 3/4" that I wanted. Thats why i use the 1" measurement with the bike on the side stand. Just makes life easy for a lazy guy like me.

Exactly what I did!
The bike rode great & the chain didn't slap the chrome chain guard (that old plastic one was very forgiving)

Now to come up with a solo seat. I was thinking of a mid to late 80's sportster seat.
