Hey guys - I am needing to buy a chain roller for my project bike - as it doesnt even have one!! When I got it the chain was running on the bolt!
I was looking at the aftermarket ones - but what size do I need an 85 XT600?
Cheers,

received my chain roller and it didn't fit,the hole was too small to fit on the shaft, had to drill the shaft out and made it fit with a nut and bolt perfect

Can you please post some pictures of what you have done. I'm planning doing something similar for my '92. XT, so I could "steal" some ideas from you.
