Re: shark fin

wouldn't you need something like that on the top of the swingarm? And aren't the called chain guards? I don't see how a shark fin on the bottom would help since the chain would be running away from the sprocket.

The chain goes towards the bottom of the sprocket when going forwards..

I dont know how they work in Hawaii, but in the states and Europe, they run counter clockwise when going forward. Are you ok
