Heya Jon,

Not be a "me too" but bent the heck out of a couple of pins in the Motion 
Pro, but that was before picking up the tip of using a Dremel and cutting 
disc to grind the head off of the pin first!  ;^{D

Picked up a DID tool after that, used it to install a DID 530-ZVM chain on 
my gone '99 Sprint ST back when and like it.  Basically cranked down on it 
until it didn't crank no mo' and the result was a nice factory looking 
'shroomed pin head.

I'm gearing up to do chains and sprox on the VFR first and the ST later in 
the year, anyone know where to get the best deals for either/both?
