Anyone know anyone that makes dual sprocket guards on the side for a good price i just cant see spending 120 bucks on one when someone could make it alot cheaper. Thanks

there is 3-4 companies that sell it, gt thunder I believe does also. I have LSR single side plate, the inside plate on most of the duals is just this aluminum. I was also informed that if a root or something gets caught into the groove, it will derail the chain and you can't get it back on w/o breaking the chain. Single side guards aren't as prone to this happening. If you get a single side guard, your sprocket bolts will be too short, trx450r sprocket bolts will work w/ red locktite and slimmer nut(10mm1.25) or you can get the sprocket hardware that rpm uses, it is 10mm1.5, so you need to tap the threads to that pitch. I put the single guards on my 250r's and ran into problems w/ sprocket bolts on them.

Jet makes a single sided one.

I tell ya, it would not be hard to make one yourself at all.

If your in good with your local machine shop, they could make you one for prolly $25-30

But you could do it out in your garage.

I have a single disc setup and a skidplate/rotor guard that I made out of a gt thunder 450r skid plate. a 400ex gt thunder skid plate would work like this too but I think it would hang lower than the 450r skid. I have a 450r rear brake, all I did was cut the chain side of the skid plate and beefed it up into a "shark fin" looking shape that hangs just a little lower than the chain. my gearing is 14/36. the skid plate itself is kinda heavy, but I have beefed it up alot and made it bullet proof almost. I never get hung up
