Hi lads after your advice please Need to pull my finger out with this so what would you do with this problem with the chain Use white one or black one ? Stick it too the arm or screw it in ( I’m bit nervous about drill the arm ? Cheers 👍     |

Why not make one that fits the arm exactly how you want it to ? A nylon chopping board from Lidl or Aldi is what I used. The generic black slider you have is a poor fit for the Lc swingarm and puts the bolt holes in the wrong place when you line the slider up with the chain run. This is what I did on the Café bike;  20190817_064549 by dusty miller, on Flickr I got my local engineers to drill and fit the Rivnuts in their lunch break, and it cost me a drink. Better than c**king it up myself, plus I don't have a Rivnut tool ! Dusty  |

Nk altered my swing arm for my rs125 wheels he fitted a white nylon
Slider at the same time on my build thread exactly as dusty says nylon chopping board. He fitted a threaded insert saves having the swing arm chewed up.

I know that when Dean ran the swingarm side of Metmachex, the chain guard mounts were an optional extra.

Everything was an optional extra with Dean ! Chain guard £25. Chain slipper £25 (still needed modding to fit properly !) Paddock stand bobbins £25. Slot chain adjusters as opposed to the eccentrics - £60 ! It was a good day when Garry and Tamsyn took it over  Dusty |
