Can I bolt a chain guide to the brake stay?

Does this look like it would work? It's a CRF chain guide that would be a simple bolt on if I drilled a couple holes but maybe I'm not seeing why I can't attach it to the brake stay

GUESS ID
WORK BUT IT AIN'T RIGHT THERE IS A GUIDE THAT GO'S THERE

Yeah I have the original guide but I think they're inferior to this style. Mine jammed up with mud and a rock I couldn't see and walked the chain off the sprocket.

make sure the the chain still has clearance while adjusting the wheel in and out the whole way. i can understand you wanting to use the newer style chain guide, but would be wiser to mount it to the swinger using the 2 mount holes.

Do it

I mounted mine using the oriiginal aluminium bracket(two mounting holes to swing arm) bolted the new guide to the bracket using home made mounting plates.
The new guide bolts through the mounting plates and the mounting plate bolts through the rubber bushed hole, the rubber bushing holds it in place but wil give a little and return to its original position if clobbered.
Never had my chain come off, also remove your rear shocks to check correct chain tension.

the stocker is pretty agricultural but ive never had a drama with them. I had the rollers shear the bolts and fall out and it still keeps the chain straight. any guide can suffer the mud rock issue and ive had it happen with the other styles with a wack from a big rock...

I suppose one could do that however the bolt recess in the magnesium brake backing plate I suspect will deform that recess.

YEAAAA MAYBE THATS NOT SUCH A GREAT IDEA

Turn your master link clip to the inside it will live longer.

If that bracket has a nylon slider in it she should work.

I have seen guides on both floating and standard backing plate to swingarm. As long as the backing plate is not put under strain and the guide keep the chain properly it will work either way
