The XR650L wasn't designed to ever stay clean and polished like a Harley or other street bike. It was made to get dirty. However one day after routine maintenance on the chain I decided to take the bike for a test ride. My wife asked me if she could go along. So off we went. Upon our return and much to my fear and dismay there was a grease spot on the back of her new white jacket. So here is a cheap mod you can do to the chain guard to keep chain lube at bay. You just need a couple stainless steal screws and nuts (or pop rivets). And what I found to make the extension on the guard was a piece of plastic from the carburetor air intake of a 1983 Buick Century. This cut down on chain grease splatter tremendously. By HorseRider650
