Topic: 77 550 F chain guard mounting

[Blackhole]

I am on the tail end of my project and find I only have the chain guard for a 74 550 K and need one for a 77 550 F.  The K mounts to two tabs on the swingarm and my F only has one.  I just don't know what happens to parts people take off of bikes they are working on !!!  I bought the two bikes as a project that someone else had taken apart and put in boxes.  I would use the K guard and just weld another tab to the swingarm but I painted my frame and right now that would kill me.  I am just looking for where the F guard mounts up to and I will make mine work until I can get the correct one at Vintage Days at Mid Ohio this summer.  Looking for a picture or description of how it mounts.  Thanks for the help.

One screw hole at the rear of the swinging arm, one tab sorta midway then a slidey clamp thing at the front the guard slips into.

If you are interested I've got one off a 76 F.  If you want pictures let me know.
