found this one...

They have a few faults with those and the one I bought is in the corner due to those faults.

Thanx, do you have any suggestions to buy somewhere else?

G'day Ivan. I used one from that eBay. As Al said it has a couple of faults, but I used it anyway. You'll need to make the lower metal piece, or re use the one from your old slider of it is still attached.

Alternatively, I went to the local bike shop which had a box of dirt bike sliders. They are very long, but I found one that had one offset screw mount and modified it to mount the rest of the way.

I've just put 10,000km on it in the last month and it is holding up fine.

A further option I've been told about is to use the hard plastic they use in boat trailers. Readily available here, so I imagine you should be able to find it locally as well. Shape and then heat to bend.

I've sent you an e-mail since we are both from CRO.
Unfortunately no new suggestions for your problem.

Any chance you know someone with a 3d printer?

they can spin you out one in abs, nylon, etc.

Would take some time to design it and probably a day or so to spit one out though.

I'm lucky enough to have my own 3d printer so when it comes time to put one on my modified FZ1 swingarm, I'll just design one and print it off.

like most thing though, it's a lot easier to say than to do....... :wacko3:

I ordered part from ebay, hope it will work...


Lloyd Van Duzen

Just to confirm I ordered a chain slider seal guard from Hot Moto Foot. The part fit the way it was suppose to fit with Phillips round head screw.  I drilled a 1/8 hole up close to the pivot pin seal and added a small hex head machine screw since it moved around on the pivot tube a bit.  I received the part six days after placing the order. I think it came from somewhere in Wisconsin USA and I live in Near North (Central) Ontario Canada.  Price $170 Canadian.

I put the swing arm assembly back on my burgundy FJ 1100 today and with new spacers, bushings and grease, a scrub down and paint it's looking pretty good today. A new MC kit and lever and clutch slave kit in today and the clutch is working again today.  Just wanted to let others know about the Hot Foot Moto Chain slider seal Guard is a good product. Lloyd.
