seriously for what they cost , $17 .............I have only had 2 on Tigger 2 since new with 65k . It's not a part that really needs reinventing , Triumph actually got something right .

excessive wear and or pulling them off the frame is from chains that are adjusted way too tight !

Just for the record...my chain tension was right on before I took it through tech at the track.  It was loose after it came off. :lol:  I've put about 2000 miles on it without the lower chain block.  It's loud, but it causes no damage either. :wink:

The real damage I'm doing is putting off the swingarm rubstrip as I'm rubbing into the swingarm aluminum now.

I've got a new outlook when it comes to maintaining this bike.  Do nothing!  Runs like a top ever since I started this new regime!  YMMV. :lol:  :lol:
From parts unknown.

The previous maintainenance on mine obviously followed that regime  :roll:
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

It's a good plan...
I've seen the effects of the other plan before, on a Crash Tender at an airfield. Maintained to in-operability...
But at least it kept the crew occupied everyday  :lol:  :lol:

FWIW McMaster Carr carries several types of teflon, HDPE, etc, in round stock, bar stock, etc.

what ever you guy's do, do not use a wheel chock as you material. when mine went out last year, i could'nt seem to find the right teflon at work so i cut up a wheel chock. it wore out superfast and made a wicked mess(like an eraser), covered my bike with yellow crap. thank god my new one came in from bikebandit quickly.  the teflon thing is a great idea, and will be my next way to go when the time comes.

12"x4"x2.5" $2.00!!  But since they only cost $14.00 whats the point?
If I can convert this stuff to a swing arm chain guard? :roll:
