Quote from: STLanduyt on January 13, 2026, 08:53:07 PMAs I was cleaning the left swing arm of the FJ1100 today, I noticed that large pieces of rubber were falling on the ground near the engine side of the chain.  My chain seal guard is falling to pieces.  New seal guards are not available AFAIK.  There was a General Discussion topic in 2017 titled "Seal, guard, chain slider.... 1984-1987" that contains a photo of the seal, guard.

A seal guard is still available for the FJ1200, but it has a different attachment than is used on the FJ1100.

What solution have FJ1100 riders found?



I've gotten many things from ebay, you just have to be good with searching, you can also search craigslist or FB Marketplace for "FJ1100" and see what comes up, there are often some people parting bikes out across the usa, you may be able to have them mail you parts. You could def find a full swingarm for the 1100 on ebay with the rubber piece, just would have to spend more $ but that comes with the territory of keeping a vintage bike running.

The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
