Swing arm protector

Any ideas where I can get a new swingarm protector for my 3AJ?
It's the one that stops the chain wearing the swingarm at the pivot.

yamaha shop maybe? ok depending from model it could cost you 50 euros, not bad for a piece of plastic.... some ppl adapted nylon\teflon heated with a hot gun and cut with the proper sizes... can only say that the one for TT earlier versions is cheaper (10 euros) but i'm not sure if it can be adapted...

I've ordered one for my 1990 XT600E from Yamaha..it costs 40euros...I'll only get it when I arrive back to my island in a few months...

Adapting...I'm thinking of adapting a YZ chain guide (the enclosed type) on my bike...
