After mucho time looking through images of chain guides I though the crf230 guide looked close, so we dropped by a Honda dealer with a tape measure. Turns out that they were sold out of 230s... but we noticed the CRF150R and immediately recognized the chain guide. It was *exactly* the same. Honda wanted $24.95 for the plastic part and $17 for the aluminum.

I decided to go up another step and bought a TMDesignworks guide for our upcoming trip; I really don't want something as simple as the chain guide to ruin our efforts. It arrived an hour ago and bolted right up!!




Also went for a new sprocket from PBI while I was doing the rear tire:


The new rear tire is a massive 120/100-18 Shinko 505 Cheater:


I had to install some spacer bushings to move the muffler over so that this beast will clear everything!! Should provide maximum traction!
Love how you're finding all these parts for other bikes that bolt right up

How is the suspension feeling these days for you on the single track?
