got the brushed aluminum chain guard done last night.to late to take pics.i don't think that i am completely through with it yet but it is on and functioning.it will keep the wifes feet outta the chain,that was the main concern.just have some design elements that i'm letting come to me before i do anything else to it.not sure if i'm going to mill slots,or holes,or put a decal on it or what.it needs something to breakup the slab aluminum side.i'll try to post some pics tonight.

Mistakes? Screw-ups? Us KZ experts makes mistakes and screw-ups? Never going to happen to us! Except when we start working on our bikes. Then we all get to sit here and laugh as we read about other guys troubles. Not because they made those mistakes, but because we instantly remember when we pulled some of those same screw-ups. Good to be able to laugh at yourself around here, isn't it? Learn from your mistakes and you eventually get to be experts like us...escept for those times mistakes and screw-ups come for a visit!!!

That swing was nice! :P

It keeps the "old" style, really nice work!
And I think its steady as rock.
Are you gone polish it then? or is it plain steel ?

That "mayhem" of yours sounds terrible. :lol:
