Looks pretty, doesnt rust. and protects the subframe.. as one nice property of stainless, the more you rub on it, the harder it gets...

I wanted to avoid riveting a piece to the sub frame, so I had a piece of aluminum welded into the subframe. A little more strength, just wondered what ya'll think of the clearance between the chain and the thicker piece of sub frame..

I tried alum before I went to stainless... In one H&H race I wore through it and the subframe, and could see inside the subframe... Keep an eye on it

martinfan30, check out this post of the subframe mod I posted a while back: http://www.kxriders.com/forums/index.php/topic,7384.msg56415.html#msg56415
Stainless steel is the best thing to use for this application.
