Default New tire, chain and guard...

It's strangely fun to modify bikes that weren't designed to support such features...

For instance it took a little grinding to fit my new 160 ContiForce rear tire setup into the swingarm by removing the stock chain guide bracket. THEN the old worn chain which ate into my precious Excel Rims got replaced along with an upper chain guard which hopefully will prevent more rim destruction. The tire however is so wide(missing the edges of the swingarm by millimeters) will inevitably get rubbed, but so is the case with most converted motards.
