    What all Honda swingarms should have!

    I had my factory swinger extended last week and while I was at it, I had a rear chain guide added. This one is off a banshee. Cheap insurance for case protection!

    Yamaha has been using these for years and they WORK! I've never thrown a chain on the Z, even with terrible swingarm bearings, stretched chain, etc. On the other hand, every Honda i've known has thrown the chain on occasion. I figure, before it happens to mine, i'll try to prevent it!

    Ummm dude. Please tell me that is a mirror image or sooemthing because if it isn't it looks like you put that slider on the wrong side of the arm.

    EDIT: Ok I just looked at the picture again, it is a mirror. Whew. Almost scared for you there. lol. Good idea.

    The pro-link sticker is backwards so I guess it is a mirror image.. Great idea. I know those old Suzuki lt230s quadsports could use one of those. Those are notorious for throwing there chains and wrecking the magneto cover.

    Yeah, you're right Holmstrom, if you meant attached as in a tow rope!
    Caution
    Do not "POP WHEELIES" and run for any distance with the ATC. The oil capacity is relatively small and the oil will drain out of the oil pump area thus causing loss of oil pressure, resulting in costly engine damage -CLYMER

    Yes the image is reversed somehow. I'm not sure how that happened.
