Make your own Case Saver

Would it be too 'thin' in depth if you ground it to get a little more clearance?
Randomly thinking of you made two little bosses for the sprocket cover mounts then used a bent rod it ought to be quite compact and functional.
 
New drawing added to first post.. Photos coming...

I haven't had the cover off for a while and there was a fair bit of gunk in there! But the mild steel saver that I first made in a big hurry nearly 6 years ago, is in perfect nick.. No need for exotic metals if you lube your chain every now and then.

Darkness - I'm sure I've a copy of the drawing on my home PC? I'll have a looksee when I get home..
 
Well done for saving that Boris.
I would be interested to see my original, to see if it matches the drawing I just did, measured from the original saver, complete with spelling mistakes! (See post #1)
 
I have one on my EVO and from memory it was an exact fit after taking it off my S4RS.

Many thanks for saving that Boris. (You need to copy and paste the "BBCode full linked")
I was a few mm out here and there measuring the now curved and bent original.. Probably better amend the pencil drawing?

I made and fitted one of these today. Used a mild steel radiator bracket, pre bent right angle for the mounting tabs and about 1.2mm thick so fairly easily cut and bent into the curve.
Couple of slight mods from the drawing needed. Where it passes the clutch slave cylinder, i had to cut a section out about 3 - 4 mm back to step it in as it was obstructing the rubber boot on the inside of the slave. Also, below the bottom mounting hole, there's a fairly substantial web on the engine casing which got in the road so i stopped the guard just at the bottom mounting tab.
Otherwise all fitted easy and the drawing was spot on. Many thanks for posting the diagram.

Mr G. Thanks for the plans.. and thanks also to manwithredbike for the great tip on using an old radiator wall bracket. Spot on fit, easy to make and fit to my 97 M900 during a chain and sprocket change - a job that was well overdue.
 
If anyone doesn't have the wherewithal to make there own I found a guy on FB who makes them from SS and sends them to the UK (from Romania) for €40 ish.

I took a risk and it arrived in about a week as he makes them to order and a trial fit shows me a bit of adjustment is required.



Edit: search for this guy on FB: Dragos - Leonard Panaitiu

You can post a link Howard, just make it clear it's 'at your own risk'.
The first time someone has a bad experience, they'll shout loudly enough I'm sure.
