MSVA question.

Hi everyone,

I just wondered if there is any need for a chain guard for my reverse trike. The rear swing-arm is like it is on the bike.

Is there any concern about radius edges and the like with the chain being exposed?

Thanks
Dan

Two front wheels one rear? Or 1 front wheel and chain drive to a rear axle?

The manual seems to say that primary drive chains need to be covered. Final drive chains don't if they are below the height of the wheel rim.

Two front wheels, one rear. Swing-arm is directly from a motorbike. So, same chain and set up etc
