I make a plastic cover that cures the "chainsaw". I'll post photos and more information in the Products & Service section later.

A piece of 3/4 in heater hose split down the middle and zip tied on.  Its cheap and easily replaceable.  I have a picture in the galley somewhere.

Not the best photos, but you get the idea. If there's enough intrest I'll run out a few. This one has been on the bike since '91.
