Make your own Case Saver

Thanks for pointing this thread out Gazza, I knocked one up at work from a sheet of 1.6mm alu. I'm not sure it will be up to the job though? I don't do a lot of metal work, so didn't appreciate just how soft it was. Still, it only took 30 mins to knock up, so I'll test fit it to the bike and if it's good I've got a sheet of 1.6mm stainless here, too.

Any opinions on if aluminium will be good enough? It's not got to take much impact, especially on a 750, it's just a guide.

I wouldn't trust aluminium especially that thin, if the chain should break and 'catch' the ally it will then bunch up into it. Consider the power/speed that the chain could be going at - it's most likely to break on full power.

Might help? but stainless is much stronger and harder so far less likely that the chain will catch it.

Get the ally part to fit and then use it as a template for the stainless.
