If you're mudding, you might want to keep it. Maybe drop a tooth on the front instead?
Otherwise no issues. When I bought my 82 185s new 30 years ago, I pulled the cover off because I thought it looked better without it. I rode sand almost exclusively then.
what about modifying the chain gaurd to fit the sprocket
i never saw a chain gaurd on a 200x or 350x ,, as long as you keep the skid plate i dont see a problem... but thats me...
ok ill try it and worst case ill put the gaurd back on and modify it with a trusty dremel tool to fit the new sprocket. just wanted to know what others thought about it.
