    1100 swing arm conversion chain gaurd question

    I've thrown an 1100 swingarm in my 78' 1000 and now have a naked chain. What are the rest of you doing for a chain guard when you do this conversion? I tried using a spare stock one that was damaged so I didn't mind drilling an extra hole in it but when I go over a hard bump the chain hits the guard. I'll have a better look at things tomorrow but thought I would ask before I try to reinvent the wheel.

    when i have sold 1100 arms to 750/1000 guys some would buy the 1100 chain guard also.
    now if your 1100 arm has the rear guard mount broken off then i would assume a person could make one and have it welded(bolted?) back in place.

      No all the mounts are there. I've got a good picture of a stock 1100 guard, looks like the 1000 one sits a tad too low. Not sure if I'm going to be able to make this work.
