Hello list. I hope I’m not the only one left here with a running GPz1100. 

So, while removing the swingarm, the rubber chain guard (p/n 55020-1529) that apparently protects the swing arm from abrasion by a loose chain, literally fell apart into 5 pieces, one of which must’ve flown off the bike a while ago. Of course, this part is NLA, so I’m looking for any and all advice on how to proceed protect the top (and bottom) of the SA after re-assembly w/o this piece. I was thinking about fashioning SA protectors out of thick neoprene strips top and bottom, but I’m wondering how to fasten them in place. I’m thinking that drilling the SA to accept small screws might compromise strength, but other wise the only thing I can think of is to epoxy them onto the SA, but I’m worried that if one comes loose it has the potential to jam the chain at one of the sprockets, thus causing a massive ejection of me from the vehicle. 

Any and all suggestions and advice is appreciated.

I did a quick search and found this:

I then did a search to see if YoshiParts is a scam and got this:

Unfortunately, I received a message today that my order was canceled due to part unavailability. Thanks again for trying to help me. I’m very sad but determined to find a way to get this old girl back on the road, with or without the rubber chain guard. 

Any suggestions on how to fabricate what’s required to protect my swingarm from damage from the chain coming in contact with it would be most appreciated.

Wow! Seeing this was a blast from the past...

Here is an interesting solution, appears 3D printed by a guy in England:

So, while I’m trying to figure out how to protect my swing arm from chain damage w/o a replacement rubber “chain guard”, I have another question about my 30 year old GPz1100:

What are my options regarding rebuilding or replacing my stock rear monoshock, as I assume that after three decades and 40K miles it’s knackered?

I’m still here although I don’t ride my GPZ much anymore, I’m enjoying my HD Pan America ST too much.

After 30 years of ownership I’d still ride it anywhere with  no worries at all.  Sadly, I’m thinking of selling and finding something smaller to run around when I’m not on the PA.  I also have a shitload of new and used parts for it I’ll have to sell off at some point.  Until then I’ll get it out and enjoy it as much as I can.

Has any tried to see if the ZX1100 Ninja Chain Guard (p/n 55020-1528) might
work on the GPz1100? It's similar to the GPz model but there are no good
photographic comparisons and the pictures on Partzilla and other places
don't give me enough information.

 

I really don't want to scrap my '96 GPz just because of this part being NLA,
but I don't think it can be run safely w/o a guard on the SA.

 

Please help if you can.any and all suggestions are welcome!!

Since I don't seem to have any other options, I'm looking into getting the
knackered Chain Guard recreated with 3D printing. If anyone out there can
help me identify the polymer that the original part is made from, I'd be
most appreciative.

 

All guesses also appreciated!
