Chain Rub!

[Guest]

Had a "rivet" type chain, it would rub on the chain guard. I bent it a little and got it where it would rub only when the slack was not adjust correctly. It was tight for what ever reason but worked.

Now it's time to replace this chain due to age and my abuse.

Got a DID630 master link clip type. It's what was available "now" and I need it for a ride planed next Sunday. The link sticks out even more then the Rivet type it rubs the chain guard every pass even when adjusted correctly. Not ideal with these clip type chains

So, it's time to address this problem. Do I try to "bend" the stock guard more for clearance or do I find another guard? Any suggestions?



1983 GS1100E, Stock sprockets and wheels. Stock guard as far as I know.
