swing arm slider for 72-75 100/125 CMF bikes

We came up with adaptation of Kents  swing arm protector for the 100/125's. Have 150 miles on it now with 2 days of real testing at the RR. Would anyone like pictures of it? The old Still Keeping Track article by Kent gave us the idea and what materials to use.

Okie,
 We made it from a sheet of 1/4 inch Teflon. Its bigger than it needs to be but it is out of the way of every thing so I wont trim it till we have the swing arm off next time. Had to use the wifes oven to bend it.
 We tried a torch and that did not work for us. Used 2 pieces of tubing bolted in parallel one through the swing arm ( swing are was sand blasted with no bushes in it ) and one just resting on the teflon. when the whole thing was hot enough ( 450 deg. F ) my son held the parts while i rotated the tubes and the material bent down like soft candy.
 The slider is held on with two nuts we tack welded to the swing arm.
Hope this is clear enough . chuckle chuckle
