Just finished the swingarm maint/repacking.
Noticed my chainguard (12053-1360 / GUIDE-CHAIN,DRIVE,FR) has a goodly
sized chunk taken out of it.

Is this from a poorly adjusted chain? I was looking at how it fits
onto the swingarm trying to figure out where in the swingarm travel
the problem was but couldn't quite figure it out.
A new one looks to be $22 from Ron Ayers but is there a more durable
aftermarket one available? Couldn't see anything at Arrowhead.

Hehehehe. I actually saw "Formtech Services (formerly Dirtly)
Polyurethane chain guides" in the FAQ and went to the webpage but it
said it was for graphic arts supplies. I guess I didn't dig deeply
enough before posting.... hmmn, the dirtly.com webpage is odd too.
I guess I'll have to e-mail them, but yes, from the looks of the
twowheelwandering pics, it's exactly what I want.
I should check my rear guide too, see if that needs replacing. Maybe
the Scott oiler tubing will stick better to it than to the stock

Thanks
Tony

I'm using Dan Oakes chain slide (_www.dirtly.com_ (
http://www.dirtly.com) )
and it has been very durable. Easy installation without removing the swing
arm.

Hi Tony,
I also noted the link was a tad odd, and never really told you how to
buy the slider. If you get it figured out, out to get this product
if it is actually available, let me know. I think I will order it
for a spare, based on the wear on my bike.

Hi Kurt,
How did you get to where the slider is actually offered. Maybe I am
missing something here? Sometimes I am unable to see the
obvious...Is it obvious where the slider-for-sale is located?

You might want to contact Dan at danoaks@... and ask him.
I got my handlebar risers from him. He also has listings on ebay under
the name "bierdo".

Thanks Mike,
I found this link
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewItem&item=4586772201&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT
which allowed me to continue to his email address and ask about the
chainslider. I'll let you know what I learn.

$39.95, wow. I figured it would be priced closer to the stock Kawi part.
Also, why do they say "Yr. 99-01"
