Freakworks look great don't think I could have done any better .Aluminum road signs can be had at about any salvage yard and they are nice and thick, good for a project like this. just an option.

My bike had no chain case guard on it at time of purchase.  Yours looks like a really great after-market one??  Who makes it? How much?
