Been quiet on this recently, waiting on the next big part of the jigsaw to arrive. Today was the day - the Metmachex arm turned up at 9 am; 20181009_090501 by David Miller, on Flickr Tis a thing of beauty !! This afternoon I got down the shed to fit it. I'm keen to move the bike from the shed up to the garage for the winter as it will be much easier to work on, so this arrived at a good time. Fitted in really easily, along with the YSS shock I bought from Mutts a few weeks back; 20181009_173345 by David Miller, on Flickr 20181009_173356 by David Miller, on Flickr New rear tyre already fitted, and the wheel has been powdercoated by a previous owner and then not used by the look of it - same as the front. I want to get a nicer torque arm from Norbo and find a nicer bolt for the torque arm to bolt at the front of the swingarm. May need to add some preload to the shock too. Loom is all clean and I've re taped it so that's ready to go on and I need a couple of bits for the airbox then that can be fitted too. Then it's engine rebuild time, and as before, I will list part numbers and do as many pics as possible as I go Dusty i am scanning through you lc build can you tell me where you got the chain guard from please? max

Hi Max, I think I got it with one of the other Met arms I bought - to be honest, I cant actually remember It may have been with the first one I bought for the blue/orange hybrid Lc, as Dean owned the company back then and offered the chain guard as a £25 option. I'm not sure the new Metmachex's have that option now ?? Maybe worth a call to Tamsyn as she will know Sorry I cant be any clearer. Dusty

No, nothing yet, project wise. I do think that chain guard came with the first arm I bought from Dean. It's a shame they aren't an option with the new ones. I also though a small hugger made from ali would be a great addition to an Lc Metmachex, but suppose it all comes down to how many people would want one, as to whether it's worth Garry making them. I sure he could do them as a one off - he's a very talented engineer. Other option is the later Tzr's had a very similar chain guard to the one pictured that, maybe, could be adapted to fit ? Dusty

I think Tom Mac did some and Norbo had some similar ones.
