Bash guards

I want to make some sprocket bash guards like the bling star ones out of 3/8" aluminum. If I hand cut them and let's say it's not perfectly round, due to the cut outs cut in them for helping roll over fallen trees, will I feel a vibration? Was thinking about that this morning. Considering I don't ride on the highway and high speeds all the time I didn't think it would make a big problem but what do you fabbers think??

That's a good call, I didn't think about mud and rocks getting stuck in between two of them. I originally had planned to make 2 for the sprocket but I think I'll just do one and bump it up to 1/2". I can set up a jig with some water pipe I have and use the plasma cutter and cut a perfectly round circle. Just the thing I was worried about is the notches on the outer edge not being perfectly uniform with the next one. I will probally just mark them out perfectly center and bring it out to a friends shop and use his iron worker to punch out the half circles

Ive never had an issue with mud or anything gettin in my personal bike.  I can make u a single sided not a problem.

 

Our rotor and sprocket guards work very well.

Here it is. Took me about an hour and a half to make and it's fairly true for being hand cut. Going to mock up a rotor guard tomarrow and I'll post some pics installed

Homeboy don't fuck around

Haha yeah I love making parts for my bike. I Do it for boats everyday so I have access to a lot of tools. Specialty parts I will buy from vendors and not waste my time but something as simple as this, there's no way I was going to buy one. Excited to see it installed. I'm still deciding if I want to cut away the center holes like the bling star one, going to sleep on it tonight

I think I might wipe it down with acetone and bolt it on and run it. I ride in a lot of rocky trails and paying for something like this to get chromed just seems silly. But I agree, it would look waaay better
