Newbie!! 1979 250 Or

I stand corrected - pic deleted. Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks Marty - I’ll look in to the kit.

Got to say the ‘80 looks great - is the rear fender a bit sharper? Much as I’d like to be period correct I do need to replace the incorrect fender on mine, would an ‘80 fit?

No. The rear loop on the 79 and 80 frames are totally different.

Hi guys. I’m replacing the chain and the new one is x ring and quite a bit wider and it doesn’t fit through the guides. So, taking off the guides so I can pack them out and the front one has worn right through, to the point the chain has worn down the bolts. I could have a replacement fabricated, but just looking for thoughts on whether I really need the front guide at all? Pic below of the worn part!

Hi guys - answered my own question on this one! I’ll have to buy a narrower chain regardless as the thick x ring one I have bought clashes / rubs against the casing behind the output shaft. Also figured out I do need the front guide / tensioner to clear the chain from the nut holding on the foot break pedal - all a learning curve but enjoyable
