sheerider1026 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I would rather have a 1 piece design and remove the wheel to install. From there on out the only time needed fr removal would be a sprocket change, which requires removing the wheel anyway.. 1 piece much stronger.

dave5.0 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hmm.. Seems the chain would be hitting the logs, not the teeth I think dude was talking about using a second sprocket in place of the smooth disc. I wondered that too. The blingstar ones have little cut outs in em for that I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would learn not to fall off you wouldn't have to worry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250rbanshee Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 How come you are only running it on one side? And have you thought about making a two piece instead of one so you dont have to take the wheel off to install it? And if you run a second inside one, wont have to remove sprocket and hub too. I don't think there is enough room on the inside...if I had a roundhouse style carrier then I think it would be easy to have one on both sides. My brother machined this at work and he has a blaster so all measurements were taken into account. Plus it was free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the single sided way better. The bling star one gets packed with shit and eats up chains and sprockets. The single sided stays way cleaner. I like the 2 piece design idea tho.

250rbanshee Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 All the dual sprocket guards that are on the market are for bikes with roundhouse style carriers. I haven't found any yet for the yamaha 6 bolt sprocket pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zillaguy Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Nice piece! I have a question for you.. How do you like your Alba a-arms? Do your Delrin bushings suck? One season on mine and they are loose as hell! I'm making a set out of brass, so i don't have that problem any more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Impressive machine work, but in my opinion the design sucks. Yes, it's a massive chunk of iron, but it's bolted to the sprocket. That's like bolting rock rails to the body sheet metal. Like putting Rockwell axles in a unibody Jeep Cherokee. Like... That's all I got. Why not use longer sprocket bolts so you utilize the structural integrity of the sprocket hub? And I really don't think it needs to be 5/8" thick at the mounting point.
