My chain guard got broke recently. I've been searching for alternative. I found a couple on eBay - but WOW they want a pretty penny for them. I'm looking for alternatives...........
Any suggestions appreciated.

If your like me and tight, then get a drill and make two holes one on either side of the break, then a tie wrap will hold it together.
Worked all the way back from Alaska!
Better solution is the one from Chris, hugger from NWS
Touratech do a nice one.
Just buy another stock chain guard,there must be dozens left in lofts by folks who have bought aftermarket.
Thanks for the advice - But I'm too dang CHEAP to come off of $50 - $75. I ended up taking some 20 Ga. spring steel and riveted the two pieces back together. I then used my bench vice and flattened the smaller end of the rivet. A little flat black paint and up-n-running.
I left mine off after it fell off a few years' back Haven't missed it a bit.

in NH you need one or you don't pass inspection , no sticker = $$$$$$ fine $$$$$ if you get caught riding without sticker , so it's kinda necessary here and probably many other states too .
In the days before I used Drylube crap off the chain got everywhere as it was, god knows what it must be like without one.

this is what I did when my Trophy 1200 had the same problem. Worked just fine.
With the Tiger I am just running without. Does make a bit of a mess, I will admit.
Have ran without mine for years. Never missed it.
MOT Failure in the Uk without one, though I was let off once with an old GpZ1100 that didnt have one, Tester said " You have got the chain guard somewhere havent you"?, OK then.
