    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Alternatives to GS1100 Chain guard?

Anyone found any nice alternatives to the GS1100 chain guard that fits on the 1100 swingarm?

:)
 
Sorry I can't help with any replacement suggestions, but I'm partial to no chain guard. One less doodad and chain maintenance is easier. There are plenty good chain lubes that won't fling any gunk around.

Yeah... ran my 750 that way for a while. It still threw some gunk though.... :)
 
Hmm, I stocked up on a few cans of the "Moto Pro" brand chain lube when cycle gear had a massive sale on it. Dries to a clear coat and never flings. Obnoxiously low pressure spray but I like it other than that.

For what it's worth, I was cleaning the garage out today and found a generic chain guard. Looks just like this drag specialties one. I bet any v-twin type of shop could help you find a generic one that will work.

I only have 750's for reference, and no swing arms or chain guards to be found. Here it is just sitting there, screwdriver through the front mounting hole and rear bracket bolt sitting on top of chain.

Haven't used a chain guard since 1979. :-k

All my bikes since then have been shaft-driven. :p

Yep thought about that... was just looking for a path of least resistance I guess. Time in the garage is at a premium these days!

:)
 
I was going to use one off of a newer GSXR for mine.
They are cheap, metal or aluminum and look great. They go for about $25-35 on Ebay.

Did you try one out? Wondering about fixing it without making a load of mods to bike... :)
 
I haven't purchased one yet to make fit.
I still have the suspension to weld onto the frame and an engine to build yet.
A bit more important than the chain guard at this point in time. ;)
