Vanilla Gorilla Racing Sprocket Guard.

[Wertzy]

Picked this up the other day. Heard good things about this little company in the GNCC scene and saw them offering it for only $40 so I snatched one up. Gonna try and mount it up today and get some pictures. It's made of UHMW. (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene.) I'm an injection molder myself so I know the strength of this material. Instead of taking a direct shock like steel does...UHMW kinda "obsorbs" the shock.

 

I'm going on a dice run this weekend...will post before and after pictures of how it holds up.

Sorry I actually haven't got around to installing it yet. I'm trying to find a way to remove the factory studs in the sprocket hub then replace them with new hardware which I have to find. Going to try and work on it this weekend and post some pictures. I did notice already though...that in order to install it I will have to trim the rear chain slide some.

Rent a metric stud puller from local parts store like auto zone.

Vice grips and a mapp torch. Come right out

I used stud puller and a torch. The torch helps prevent the stud from snapping. If u dont have one u can lock the nuts together too

How did you get a banshee pattern?

Did they make it for you?

I have 3 of my aluminum version single sided sprocket guard (1/2" 6061 alum plate) including grade 8 metric hardware for $100 shipped.

 

Support sponsors FTW.

 I'm assuming he made it for me. Most of his sales deal with people in the GNCC scene who ride Honda 450R's and YFZ450's.

Okay I'll email them.

I like the idea of the poly ones over aluminum or steel.

[ClaudeMachining]

Won't that poly wear down and become a smaller diameter in no time when ridi g in rocky and rutted trails?

Uhmv will probably keep is shape under hits better than aluminium, but yes it will wear out faster.

 

But i think the first goal of this thing is absorb hits.

 

But i'm guessing here, it's the first time i saw uhmv used that way.

We will find out because that is all I ride in. If it does, I will only be out $40 and won't ever buy it again. I'm probably gonna have a couple aluminum ones made at work anyway as backups.

Fuck.
