Swingarm to brace or not to brace...

[AMCQ46]

you need the bits off the same blade you got the swinger from

[lloydie]

Sp1
92-99 blade chain guards
R1 hugger also can fit 4xv

Thanks chaps. I wasn't sure what blade swingarm I'd used! Haha I just knew it looked the same as the ones in this thread

I'll get searching later

The Blade hugger leaves a gap between the rear edge of the sprocket cover and the brace, and I've cut up a standard Storm chain guard to cover the gap, otherwise the chain flings lube over the back of the engine and your leg.

Thanks Tony, would this do the trick? I'm not keen on huggers...

The rear will fit the front will need a new mount made and welded to the swing arm brace and best to get it done the same time as the other welding

Jamie these should fit ok -

or-

obviously these are new and at the exy end of the market. You could go for the standard plastic blade parts or wait for some 2nd hand carbon kit to appear.
Good luck fella

Hate to disagree Lloydie but the front fits straight on once the brace is installed -

[Jamoi]

Thanks for the links Kev

I'm glad you alerted me to that bracket lloydie, swingarm is still unwelded at present, so will order the chaingaurds first to get the bracket location.

I stand corrected .

[Jamoi]

Ahh I must have posted at the same time as you Kev!

Ok thats good, I can forget about shelling out for those expensive bits of plastic for now

I've got the R1 option on mine if you want some pics to see what it's like to help you make a choice?

[Jamoi]

Thanks gl_s_r, does the R1 type have any previous coverage on here? If not... was it a fairly simple job? Does it include the chaingaurds? As I'm not too keen on having a hugger (oddly enough).

This is a 4xv r1 hugger that I'm having on mine
No chain guard

[Jamoi]

Cheers mate, I do like the look of that actually. I just can't stand the huge plastic integrated chaingaurd/hugger things!

I'll start with just a fireblade chainguard and see how I go.
