Swing-arm rubber is still in place and judging by the layer of road dust, hasn't come in contact with the chain. I think it is still the original chain (bike had only 3000miles on it when I bought it) and appears to have equal wear.
I will try winding the pre-load right up....Progressive only list up to 12.5" so I doubt I would get an exchange and maybe change the chain and sprocket(s) just in case.
Yeah, I also just went on the Progressive website, and it looks as if you're right...the 812s appear not to come any longer than 12.5".

As for being able to keep my mouth shut...I'm on wife number 3 so maybe it's too late to learn that lesson ! 
(well Martin, hopefully, as they say, "the third time'll be the charm", dude!) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
