I know you guys don't like advertising, but I had to share this with you.

Are you sick of getting wet riding your XB because there is nothing to stop all the muck at the back?
Here is the answer, our hugger is made from top quality carbon fibre and is extended by a full 7". This stops around 80% of the water thrown up by the back wheel from reaching you or your passenger!
Uses stock mounting system and will fit all models of XB.
Available as usual from www.trojan-horse.co.uk

Got a shot of it actually on an XB? I'd like to see it in action, so to speak.

In the picture we have a 52 rear and 21 front, although we have a choice of 40-52 for the back and 21/22 front. Because of the way our chain tensioner works we have 4 different chain lengths that we use to fit the whole lot of sprockets.

Thanks for the extra pix, Trojan.

And that's really enough to keep the majority of dirt and wet from being flung up on the taillight and fairing? Hmm... very tempting.

Hey! How about that! A chain conversion that doesn't require adjustable axle positioners. That is thinking outside the box eh? I guess you just swap chains when they stretch/wear beyond acceptable limits?

We use the standard belt tensioner, but altered so that it can be moved around 3" at the 'wheel' end. This takes up the slack when the chain stretches and to cover 3 or 4 sprockets for each chain. This system has been 100% reliable all year, with the added advantage of a constant wheelbase regardless of chain adjustment.

So you move the tensioner and not the rear wheel???

Excellent - take if from one that has already converted to chain on a 98 S1 - I find it to be much more reliable than the belt - not too much more maintenance either.
