Installed new chain and sprockets

Today I installed the new chain and sprocket set that I had purchased in the Fall of last year.  The chain was at its limits and the sprockets were worn a bit.  I upgraded to a 16 tooth front sprocket, hoping to keep the revs lower at highway speeds.
new o-ring chain and 16 tooth front sprocket
the master link wouldn't budge, so I had to dig out my Dremmel rotary tool
I should have removed the countershaft nut before the rear tire, so I had to clamp it with the old chain
the nut spun right off with the transmission in neutral and the old chain clamped as pictured above

the larger sprocket and new chain cleared the stator wiring fine
now we have some adjustment room
