We have made this guard strong and light by using 7075
Aluminum. The window through the center of the part takes weight off and does
not trap mud, as other designs do! Of course it protects the Clutch slave
cylinder from debris that may be thrown its way by the chain. This Slave
cylinder needs protection as repeated pounding by the chain can damage it and
brake fluid leakage here means failure.
The "Clog and Bog"
The stock chain guide "Clogs" with mud in wet
conditions . This translates into increased drag, Bogging down the engine. This
reaction is more noticeable with 2 stroke engines.
Note: Stock chain guard is
modified as shown below.
