Chain guard was created by 750 R1
Hi guys. I'm using a gs1100 alloy swingarm on my GPZ and was wondering, for the people that have used this swingarm, what chain guard are you using ? 

Thanks

I'm not. I chose to ditch the chain guard

I bought a factory, but haven’t even thought about starting that project. It’s on the way back burner. I’ve mocked it up so I know what I’m shooting for but way in the future.

It is an MOT/TÜV requirement in most European countries also

I understand draconian rules/laws as I am, sadly, a resident of California. Our esteemed overlord has outlawed gas powered cars, bikes, lawn mowers etc in the near future.
   To those of you who live in cooler, or wetter climates... our (my Wife & I) bikes are fair weather toys. We won't purposely take them out in the rain, they don't go off road and generally have a pretty plush existence. We an get away with non o-ring chains, minimal chain lube etc, because of the lack of need for it. 


Please believe that if we lived in a cold, wet area like the UK, for example, and it was a daily commuter... by all means, I would have chain guards on our bikes.

Slayer61. Maybe you should think about getting into the extension cord business. I can’t imagine what length cord they will need to maintain a golf course.
