Hey everyone, I keep damaging the chinsy factory chain guide on my old 97 501e. I have read a lc4 guide will work as a upgrade. Question is will a aftermarket guide for a lc4 also work ?

I may have to make a bracket to bolt to the swingarm even for a lc4 style guide. I am not sure how the lc4 mounts to the swingarm. Clean 400 you have there too ! Looks nice !

Anyone else have any options ? I really need to ditch the factory guide. I don't think the lc4 will bolt up.

did a dualsport back in '98 with my new fe600e, about 150 miles. got back to staging and noticed the guide had broken off the swingarm (again). it looked completely normal, just upside down, keeping the chain from going up.
the factory boys were in the pits and i was looking over their bikes. guy comes over and says "pretty nice, huh? i say, oh yeah, i've got one like it, but your's has the chain tensioner on the opposite way of mine. he says "i gotta see this", so i walk him over to mine. he looks and looks and seemed confused... says "i don't know how it works, but those guys in sweden are always coming up with new stuff." i didn\t have the heart to tell him.
