    The front sprocket cover on 78 250CR is perfect. I notice a lot of "old" racing Huskies have them removed. Am I taking a big chance on wrecking a nice cover?

    Anyone running the Husky Junk case saver? It seems like the HJ case saver should curve around a little more to be effective. ???

    I'm running a nylon? sprocket guide on my 80 390CR, works great :thumbsup:, got it off Ebay a few years back. You could easily make one of these yourself with a jig saw & the material :).

    I'm pretty sure i have an extra, i maybe able to scan it & you
    could use it as a template.

    ruwfo,

    That is trick and looks like it should keep the chain from balling up and breaking the cases.

    What do you call it in English?
    If I'm allowed to guess would I say it's a "chain guide" or as we call it "break protection" (free translation) or more exactly "blast protection".
    Yes I know "blast protection" sounds silly in English, but it makes sense in Swedish ;)

    RUFO,

    Very cool part. Maybe a close up photo? Not for me personally, but there are alot of 250/390 riders who would be interested.

    Component made up of what type of material?

    Oh yea - your bike looks great!

    Sprocket drawing

    Ok Guys,
    I made a quick drawing, i think this was originally made for
    a older Husky 74-76 ,so i had to opened up the inside radius
    to fit my 1980. This Drawing is of the original un modified one,
    (spare). It's made out of plastic or nylon, hope it helps someone :).
