Removal Of Lower Chain Guide In Front Of Rear Sprocket

[Guest Pete McCrary]

Anyone ever remove their's and suffer any ill effects afterwards? Can't see where it accomplishs much other than maybe some noise reduction to get Honda by the Feds and a place to collect gunk and other oily crap.

I haven't had any ill effect yet. but this is what it looks like.

and this.

On the microfiche, they call it an "air guide" but it's real purpose is to keep bodily parts from entering the confluence of chain and sprocket.

Man I don't think I'd be brave enough to wheel my bike out onto that tiny dock! :fing02:

Hey Pete. How's the Vmax running?

I took my guard off and have no problems with gunk flying off or body parts getting snagged into chain.

That looks so much cleaner. I took mine off last night.

I took the lower off - no ill effects. I just seemed to get in the way of working on it. Dunno if I would take the top one off though.
