As some of you might know from the USA site I had a bit of a lock up at 30ish mph ?
The chain guard got eaten by the front sprocket and jammed solid....this is the aftermath
The link below tells the story of the bike

So after finding out all parts were obsolete and with much thanks to Bryanj I managed to make a new push rod and sort the cable attachment out as they took the most beating?
So I was left with just a chain gaurd to sort out..I tried an standard plastic one on I had spare and it just didn't look right .....I couldn't see one on the net that I thought would do the job and I definately did not want to spend any money on the wrong one....
So I thought I would have ago at making one???
So from this

To this?

To finally this?

I was happy until I saw the final picture and now I think it looks abit low at the front .....so I might have to jack it up abit.....but I like the fact it's a solid connection as it seems that was the weak point on the last one
So now after the best weekend we have had I'm back on the road
