I just realized when I was checkin my chain that I have No protection for my swingarm. I have a small rubber piece but its not for the swingarm. I got 600 bucks into this Powdercoat and now this is Jammin me up.
Can we get some killer ideas on how to protect your singarm from the allmighty killer Chain.

The 84/85 KXTs had a long rubber chain slider that fit snuggly over the swingarm. It wrapped around the front and came back quite a ways. It protects the top, bottom, and covers the side a little. You can see the top of it in the upper right of the pic I attached.

See if they have something that will work, or can make you a nice slider.

Meatbox very nice work. I can't wait to see it finished. Jeb, awesome Westcoast swingarm. That would look good on the purple tecate.

That was the WestCoast swingarm I had on my 84 Tecate for years. I had pulled it, had it powder coated a bright white along with the bearing carrier to match. I sold it a year or two ago because I had gotten an NOS one when I got my Z's west coast swingarm. I then later sold the NOS KXT one. You can see it on GreenLightenings awesome KXT in a lower post.

I should have kept them! But I take comfort in the fact they went on very nice trikes.

I want my whole swingarm upper and lower sides totally protected. We made up something special that protecat 100% of swingarm and the chain runs smooth all the way around. Pics when Tecate is done.
