      Splatter should be reason enough to keep it.
      I don't know if its any safety issues.

      How bad is it? Have you tried metal polish.
      If its too bad strip the chrome and paint it.

              OEM is only 100 bucks at alpha-sports
              61311-49002-019 is your oem part and 61310-49100 is the part number for the L of that same year.

                  There is a few chainguards on EBay for Suzuki 750's do seardch and see if any match. No 81s to be seen though.

                      Legality issues maybe. I dont run one on mine but im using Maxium chain wax that doesnt fling off.

                          My bike has never had a chain guard.

                              I have a black plastic one from a '77 gs750 you can have--just pay shipping.

                                                      If you ride with a passenger, then check the position of the rear footrest... you don't want any risk of contact between the chain and feet

                                                          None here in years but then I don't have passenger pegs either. My left rearset from an early Gixxer does have a bit of chainguard built into it.
