Help; somebody. I've "Googled" myself to weariness, trying
to find a NEW camchain stopper guide--top bridge. I've got
a couple "used" ones; I need a new one. Does anybody have
a suggestion of a site that would, for sure, have one?

..............maybe somebody's got one in their back pocket?

Those things get little wear and contribute nothing to tension. Whats wrong with the old one? Is it actually worn or do you just prefer new?

If you'll go to this thread address>http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63 ; scroll down> 1st paragraph of "Cam Chain
Replacement" article> Jurek Zarzycki makes mention how he
wouldn't want to have to eventually replace the 2 WORN chainguides because of the advise of said mechanic.
Why would he be speaking of replacing a "worn" guide, (and the guide not being broken). (In other words>what would actually
be the advantage of having a guide that the running rail is not worn down?)

I really would much rather replace the bottom guide; but I'd have to remove the head to do that. There are even some other things
that could be done to increase the chain life on the next new camchain--but I ain't gonna do that either.
