Chain guard extension - Delphisa - 06-11-2014
Having found sometimes a few grease particules onto the rear carrier (where my wife holds her hands...) I tried the following bricolage to reduce grease projections over rear of the bike :
To make this, I used some rubbish I found in my garage : a thin piece of black PVC (0.6 mm), and an aluminum plate, 2 mm thick:
Once assembled with a bolt and nylstop nut, it looks like this: (I also put a double-sided adhesive layer between the aluminum and PVC tab)
Not sure it will be really efficient, but it should capture a part of the flying grease - I hope so !

I have the same problem, I guess honda saved $1 dollar in plactices to make the chain guard 6 more inches longer!

Nice looks like it should work fine. I would try it out on a few rides and see the results. Then I would replace the bolt with a black rivet

My solution is to not use grease, but that looks okay!

This thread was worth it just to see "bricolage" used in a sentence.
What chain lubricant do you normally use? I use the Pro Honda Chain Lube with Moly stuff and I don't think I've ever had any fling anywhere. At least not up high enough to hit the rear carrier where it would be noticed.

I use the Honda one and no flying off any where.
Over the years I have found that the Honda products for cleaning and lubricating are very good.

AzBob: I saw the word bricolage but thought it was something Delphisa just made up. I did not want to say nuttin to hurt his feeling lol

Whatever lube the factory/dealer used on my chain is making a mess. I've got a thick, tacky, Vaseline-like covering all over my rear wheel.
