Mark, JB Tuning do them for £46. I haven't used one or seen one.

Pricey, but looks interesting though. However, a worn chain is still a worn chain. Still could be useful for odd sprocket combinations.
Ps. Get well soon Dean.
Another casualty. Mick Bevin from Chelmsford Scooter Club also broke his collar bone last night. Through no fault of his own. Dodgy Vespa front disk locked on and threw him off.
Sorry for going off topic.

at the minute im ruuning a li150/20/46 (3.91 ratio)and it will not pull over 4,800 in 4th but will pull 7,500 in 3rd so im dropping front sprocket to 19(4.12 ratio) which should help . the reason i want this adjustable chain guide is on my engine a 19/46 with a 82 link is sloppy . corrado is sorting one out for me being the top dealer and scooterist he is
