 This
article is about making your own very inexpensive frame guards. They are much
cheaper than factory or aftermarket metal frame guards. They work very well
without rust in almost all weather conditions. Have fun making your own!
-
First cut a piece
of paper to the shape of area to be covered and make any holes for swingarm
bolts and such.
-
Trace
the pattern onto a piece of 5mm thick tough rubber meant for the soles of
shoes (pictured). This material cost me about $3 SGD ($1.84 USD). Other materials
that can be used: traction decal (rough textured sticker meant for skateboards),
thick neoprene, or anything else you can find that you may work. Anthony has also made
full-length frame guards.
-
Cut
out the shape using scissors or a sharp knife.
-
Use cable ties (zip
ties) to attach the new guard to the frame. Make sure it does not get in the
way of moving parts.
