Chain rubbing block ideas and UHMW tape for swingarm protection

[gcloys]

Great info thanks!  I'm down in the Smokies and I'm still getting some riding in as it tops out about 60F.  I also curved mine a bit around the backside of the clamp with heat.  I had the same chattering noise, but it has quieted down now too.  I also had lower mileage, about 38mpg, but my last long ride I averaged about 40mpg. I chalked it up to my throttle hand, although I did turn down my idle closer to the recommended 1050rpm from about 1200rpm that I used when riding more technical dirt/gravel in the mountains. I'll keep this post up to date on wear and mileage.
