Most motocross bikes have a similar chain guide arrangement to what you have made. Might be tricky finding one thats the exact shape that suits your swing arm size and profile. But they are are available.

Did look at those, cbr one was close as the jmc arm was originally designed for. This one will work fine with a couple more little tweaks as well as been harder wearing. I have a old combine harvester that has ash and oak chain runs believe it or not.

Went a bit mad the other night and ordered 2 moto gadget mo. View Street mirrors. No glass polished aluminium. IMG_20210304_155559.thumb.jpg.cf03d9f8e151031c62b820dd4a23da29.jpgIMG_20210304_155701.thumb.jpg.636e2a08d6be115ca064c2b54bc70730.jpgIMG_20210304_155912.thumb.jpg.cf9022b00c49859065429fb011660ced.jpg

Ooooooo nice, need some bar ends for the bike we were chatting about the other day that cannot be mentioned here, where you get them from

Got some 50mm black nylon bar to remake the bottom frame rail chain protector. Was tricky to pop over the frame but managed it with a little heat, brute force and ignorance. IMG_20210304_161043.thumb.jpg.8796729574b6f7ca115adb6b78f5cce1.jpg IMG_20210304_172651.thumb.jpg.9c2e54faa473ac1a7dc1ad479a58f266.jpg IMG_20210304_182637.thumb.jpg.5a8fb1be4f22f55e5b26b903078b9fae.jpg IMG_20210304_182716.thumb.jpg.9965a757efd11f3c072252b7bd1e6e06.jpg

I still have the original Harris-supplied nylon part for here. It has a ridge on it so the middle of the chain runs on that, rather than the edges of the sideplates cutting into the nylon. I can see if I can find a pic if you like.

Like the one on my other Harris frame. New one will soon wear a groove if it makes much contact. IMG_20210305_105217.thumb.jpg.c2eb1dff2ca0242b85284776878d31e0.jpg

@Dezzahave heard some people use a jubilee clip to secure it then when it's worn down a bit slaken it of to move it round a bit. 

I suppose that would work but mine is pretty secure when fitted but also fairly easy to take off and put back on. I am a bit puzzled by whoever had your frame before painiting the nylon protector red though.

Need to change that spring colour now :D

Would you change the colour of a pair of Ohlins forks ?

Would your paint a pair of AP Lockheed calipers ?

The spring is the colour it is because it is what is. The trademark colour of a quality piece of kit.

Yes I would if it didn't go with the colour scheme
