    I too have the Thor boots, and overall, really like them. They're pretty comfy! Great price for what you get!

    AS, I have the same problem with big calfs and hoping to find some that would better accommodate my tree stumps... guess I should be happy with what I've got!

    When I'm down in So Cal in late January I'm planning a morning at Chaparral to do some pre-purchase fitting. :D

    Ivan -

    You should be able to put 3 fingers between your swing arm and your chain when it is on the stand.

    When you sitting on it, with you swing arm parallel with the ground (a little more weight than you have on it in the picture), it should still have a smidge of slack.

    Yours looks pretty tight. You need to do more than keep an eye on it, you need to loosen it. If you just keep an eye on it, you will watch as your overly tight chain quickly wears out your sprockets and itself.

    Believe me, it won't take long as tight as that chain is. It will also mess up your rear suspension.
