Swing arm extension removal - gen2

Loosen the chain, take the wheel off, and they'll come out.
You'll need to take several links out of the chain and get a new master link(press type, not a clip type) and you'll need a chain tool to do this.

and eventually the original right washer under the nut

No. Can I adjust same chain or should buy stock?
I bought like this. Do you know how can I check if bike was lowered?
Also, do you see any issue with this swing arm extensions from safety point of view?

I ran mine with zero issues. Drag raced and all. I also had two chains so I could go from extended to stock if I wanted.
Are you saying it’s not a problem to ride bike in twists (at 45 degree angles or less) with swing arm extensions and it is just skill how to ride on such corners? Don’t you think such long swing arms cause handling issues on turns?
No, how that may help in this situation?
The longer the wheelbase, the less cornering ability you have.
Put a good rider on a bike, let them run a route a few times, get an average.
Put the same rider on the same bike, only stretched, and they will be slower.
The stretch And the effected suspension/handling slows you down.
Facts are facts.
Stretches are for straight lines.
If you want to corner, go back to stock length, and get your suspension sag set up for Your weight, including gear.
If you're over 200lbs, you'll need new fork springs.
From there, with good tires and psi and good brakes, and the Busa is an Excellent knee dragging corner carver
The chain is too long, and you nee the OEM parts to put it back to stock lenght. You seam to not be qualified to to this. You should seek Professional help to get it done

Does anyone have suggestions for replacement chain adjuster / slider blocks. I am also looking to remove my extensions.
