The place to come to share your technical expertise, or just find out what the little springy thing is that's just pinged out of sight under the work-bench.

'96 Thunderace Chain Guard seal

Post by Scratcher »

Need some help, Guys.... please!

It seems that the chain guard seal (that black bit of plastic that fits over the swing arm and stops the chain scoring great channels in your swing arm) for a '96 Thunder Ace is unavailable.

Does anyone know if any other Yam models had the same swing arm as the Ace, and so are potential sources of the chain guard seal I'm looking for?

Thanks Stig, I'll bear it in mind.
Bloody hell, Nuggitt, how did you find that? I didn't even know that site existed. If I can figure out how to order it, I'm sorted!

Thanks Guys[/quote]

Stig and myself are usually loitering with intent on the German ebay site. You can get some good bargains from them lads. My best ever buy was a rear shock for my fzr1000 and it only cost me 7 Euro + Euro 15.00 postage.

Use google translate to get through the language barrier. :nod:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
