Chain Guide

mine just broke yesterday, waiting for Maniac to see they found one... otherwise just an adaptation...

Does anyone have a spare swingarm chain guide (i.e. not the guard) for a tornado that they would like to sell? Asking for a friend

Lawrance mine turned to chese and fell apart bought a new one here in Australia and it cost me $68 aud about £32 pound i bought a radiator cap and chain guide for $ 86 these parts aren't cheap but the material they make the guides out of seem to break down with time hope this helps a second hand one may also just fall to peices like mine cheers

Would have thought a perfect candidate for stereolitho in the right material.

It's fit for Benelli 600i

I have one I have been trying to get some pretty good minds with some pretty good printing equipment to copy. So far they cant really get it done in a material that doesn't break down straight away from the chain lube. So far its looking like machining it out of a block of the right stuff may be the only option difficult and expensive option. I'm working on it

ABS & PLA would be a waste of time.
Tried Nylon, PETg or CF-PETg ?

I know a guy who is using and has stuff that handles the oil but he mills it out of billets, doesn't print it. He says " I'm not sure if I can do that shape , maybe in two parts, very expensive." He makes the serial number tags that are attached to certain moulds that are used for making railway sleepers and the like. It's exactly the right stuff handles the continued coats of release agent oils for years. I am trying to get him to have a go at it but, these things take time..... I'll try him again this month and see what reaction I get this time.

PETg or CF-PETg would be fine as a 3D print matl.

@damarksta001 Any progress on this?
@aleib Did you use all of the KX450 slider, mounting it top and bottom, or just thee top?

I rather doubt that the slider for the TNT 600i will fit, even though the swingarm does look similar, but if it does, the swingarm would have to be removed to install it.

I had to put this job aside due to work commitments but seeing how needed it is I will have to get back on it. Watch this space.

Every Tornado will need one, so we need to find a solution.
Used ones are't any good as they disintegrate over time. I have one that had only done 13,000 kms which fell apart as I removed it.

Is this what you are looking for ? The website has allowed me to put it in my basket so i'm guessing it's in stock

Good luck with them.

Are they a bad company to deal with ?

IMHO a yep, a few on here have been bitten ..

@Simon-R If Maniac Motors can't get it, it's doubtful if anyone else can.

I paid for 2 from these guys over 2 years ago and never saw the parts or my money back yet....

If I can find some 5 mm polypropylene sheet, I'll have a go at making one. To make it easier, I'll do it in 2 pieces, top and bottom, and wrap them around the front a little further than the oem. I'll forgo the side mount and use 2 screws top and bottom.
Not sure if I'll bother with the raised chain roller link supports. What do you reckon? Necessary or not?
