slip_kid Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) There is a small horizontal tab, welded on the left swingarm side, just behind the tapped vertical tab for the chain guard. Does anyone know what this is supposed to do? People turning their TLRs into pure single purpose bikes are usually cutting off unused wiring tabs, brackets etc. before painting a frame. Perhaps this tab is also one of those items being removed along with the other obvious ones? Thanks Edited July 20, 2016 by slip_kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hello there. I believe it's to stop the chain getting between the rear sproket and the swingarm & jamming the rear wheel if it comes off. A nice detail? Not worth removing!

lineaway Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 I believe there was a slot in the original chain guard that it slid through instead of more bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmike1961 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) I'll have a look at mine tomorrow, it was unmolested when I bought it last December - direct import from Japan.

bigmike1961 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Finally had a look at my one - no tab at all - not much help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 I just looked at my kids reflex . The tiny tab is there ... But I've got no idea what purpose it serves !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmike1961 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Had another look, there is one there after all! It doesn't have anything to do with holding on the chain guard though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
