    Chain guard interchange

    Does anyone know if the chain guard off a '82 GS1100E will mount onto a same year Katana model?

    May not bolt right up but likely is very close. My Kat was missing a guard and I got one from some other bike from my local wrecker. It didn't bolt right up and I needed to make a bracket for the back ( aluminum strip from Home Depot) but it was easy and likely only a half hour job.

    If you have any access to a machine shop that has a brake (local high school maybe) you could fab up one in aluminum or stainless too. I think it was our pal Kiwi that did one that way. I actually did something similar for my XS Tracker in lighter aluminum sheet that I bent by hand over a wooden form. I re-enforced the top ridge of it with a length of 1/8" thick al. strip (same as the bracket material) pop rivetted in place.

    I'll try and get a pic for you.

    Cheers,
