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?
