Looking for a metal chain guard for FZR 600

Like the subject says, I'd like a metal chain guard if anyone has one. Used is prefferable. I've seen some new, expensive ones on Ebay, just looking for something more inexpensive. Let me know.


Thanks,

Dean

D,
You could always do what I did and that was make my own.

I made the originals out of stiff card to get holes, curves and width right, used the card on sheet metal as a template, folded the metal using plywood formers and finally TIG welded the curves closed where they are over the rear sprocket.
Yup about 6 hours work but the material was scavenged scrap from a commercial kitchen counter maker, TIG welding by one of their guys (he would not let me do it myself) a couple of beers after work
