Quote: ... many bikes with throw over saddle bags break the chain guard...
While lubing chain recently, noticed my stock, black chainguard was bent to within a millimeter of rubbing the chain. I bent it back into place thinking one of my kids or someone may have bent it. After reading Stu's post, went out and looked at condition again. Indeed, when suspension is compressed, my Tourmaster slant bag (with Magna brackets) hits guard. I'll have to rectify that somehow. Thanks for posting that, Stu!
Yeah, that would do it! Now I understand. My Magna bracket have about 1.5" - 2" of clearance to the chainguard. That is strange it would be that close. I guess it just depends which guards you own.
