Chain Guard

The 73 and 74 had a standard 630 chain with a auto oilier. Leaked like a Hog. :lol:

Can you post a photo? If the plastic guard is rubbing, it seems like a metal one will rub as well. ???
If the problem is the shocks, maybe consider getting a set that doesn't rub. On some non-stock shocks the springs extend too far down or the springs are too large in diameter, hence the rubbing --- HD Sportster shocks for instance. Hagon shocks are a possible alternative.

My old chain guard deformed with age. PLASTIC. The chrome ones have a cut out where the shock is. It is what it is.

Hi again, Thanks for all the input on the chain guard, what i am after is where can a person buy an after market one that will fit the 1976 KZ900A4, Preferably chrome.

I'm not sure you can anymore unless someone knows where NOS or vintage reproductions are available. I too would like to know. There are some being advertised on eBay but they are for later models and the mounts are different. Just because it says for 73-80 doesn't mean they will fit.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationYou can buy this one that's on e-bay, & have it re- chromed

That's an LTD style, different mounting points, could make different brackets, got a few of those with good chrome, will get a pic when I get a chance, working nights.

I think my chrome 900 style has shock marks on it

Hey Floivanus, I'll be patient and wait till you can get to it, I can ride with out the guard just fine so when you get a chance that's perfect with me , Thank's John

630 and 530 chain is essentially the same width.
KZ650's came stock with 530 chain
If the chain is rubbing something else is wrong, just trying to slap a chrome guard on it will not make the rubbing go away.
Find the real problem first :huh:

have you looked at American classics .com ? only 79.95 to see if it will work
