    I bought some used gold Gilles Chain Adjusters with optional lifters advertised to fit a CBR1000RR 04-14 but they don't fit my RR5 2005 CBR1000RR!
    Where they sit inside the swingarm, they are too big top to bottom for the recess. They measure 55mm whereas my swingarm measures just 48mm? My swingarm is totally standard so what gives?
    Could someone with an 08- onwards please do me a favour and measure their swingarm gap and tell me if it is 55mm or different. If it is 55mm then these will only fit an 08- onwards but if it measures 48mm as mine does then these aren't even for a CBR1000RR at all!
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Thanks Tug, as I suspected, these aren't for a CBR1000RR at all! I feel a refund coming on!

    Just also had a look, I switched the light on, but had a couple of beers, my 14 is around 48mm, certainly not over 50mm!!

    Thanks Iain, 47/48mm I'm sure all CBR1000RR from 04-14 are the same and I'm now sure the ones I've bought are NOT for a CBR1000RR at all. Thanks for your help chaps!

    Had to nip in the garage before heading out, so managed to check.
    Both my RR5 with the silver swingarm and the RR6 with the black swingarm measure 47mm on both sides. So you'll never get a 55mm adjuster in there.
