Before I got the LTR adapter on my '00 I wore out the metal bushing on the lower chain guide roller, but the roller was still OK. There was a lot of clearance between the roller and bushing so it could clear itself of mud and not bind. Maybe the newer stuff is different plastic? Havn't used a stock guide in years. I think the plastic of choice to use for rollers would be Delrin, as it has self lubricating properties.
Robby,
Hey bro the doc finally cleared me to ride! I don't think Les is making GG stuff anymore but you may find one in stock somewhere. Its a bolt on and forget about it mod.
How's the boat?
Lets see some pics of it and your female passengers.
