I like the front fender. I might have to copy that.

You can swap that top triple clamp with a GPz750 or GT750 (KZ750R or KZ750P) clamp. I have one available but it might not be worth the Intl shipping....

Thanks for the comments!

That would be nice, then I don't have to destroy the original one! I've got no idea of shipping costs though, probably high :(
Yeah, I think the fender turned out nice as well, real simple operation too! I've driven about 700km with it and the fender is fully functional even when the road is wet.

It might not be too bad through ebay Global Shipping. I'll PM you the link to my listing and it will give the cost and give you an idea of what you can look for over there.

Hi! Yes it is, from the beginning my plan was to manufacture my own chainguard but I think it tuned out nice with the original one so why bother :P

I took mine off when I got it. It was damaged and ugly anyway. I've been thinking of finding something. It looks cool without one but I don't like the mess. Seeing yours with the stock one doesn't look too bad. The day I made that post I went to buy some parts for my bike and he had the chain guard so that's pretty serendipitous.

God damnit GPzMOD750
You have to take it easy with us swedes. We are known for ingenuity, free sex and social welfare not for relentless linguistics skills and you dig up old Horace Walpole from absolutly nowhere when debating chain guards

Lol!

What? Pass up the only genuine opportunity this knuckle-dragger will ever have to properly use that $10 word?

Who's Horace Walpole?

I saw it on a movie once, probably a chick flick.
