How would you go about attaching a delrin sheet to the original, where the rubber was?
I would like to purchase one from you, please send me details grubaughdaniel@gmail.com. My address is 1021 Road M Redwood Valley, CA 95470 707-472-8372Last winter when putting my original engine back in my XS2 I had a small problem. My shift shaft chain guard was toast. Pretty typical.

I remembered Signal had posted a pic on a guard he had made. Did some searching and found it.

Did some research on a material to use and settled on Delrin. Ordered some and made a couple of them.
Installed one on my bike It fit nicely except for the wire to the alternator, no room for them to run in the original position. Had to reroute them under the shaft. Didn't like that real well but it was worth testing.

That presented a new problem. It's still winter here. I managed to get out for a few short rides, not near enough for a good test. What to do, what to do. I needed a test rider in a warm area.
About then Mailman was putting a big honken chain on his bike and having a clearance problem with the factory guard. PMd him and asked if he would like to try one of these. He did. Sent him one. He installed and tested it but like me he did not like the way the wiring had to be rerouted. Back to the drawing board.
New design. 2 piece.

It works well. Allows the wiring to be routed in the original position. The one below has been in my bike for 1500 miles, I purposely have been running the chain looser than it should be. It shows where the chain has been hitting on it.

All in all I think it works very well. If anyone is interested I can post all the dimensions.
Or if anyone wants to buy one I would sell them. $12 + shipping.
Right now I am out of stock to make them, not sure when I will get more. When I do I will let you know.I would like to purchase one from you, please send me details grubaughdaniel@gmail.com. My address is 1021 Road M Redwood Valley, CA 95470 707-472-8372

I would like one, also..........PM when or if can make more,If there's a list going to help grease the wheels, count me in. Otherwise, share the raw material details and maybe someone has it laying around the shop
Done.@Travis , can we get this thread added to Tech?
Even long after GLJ quits making 'em, the dimensions will be there for anyone else.
