Looks like this...

So that's what a shark fin does!
I couldn't find anything on it anywhere. Sorry for the off-topic and good luck with the sale

Urgh, I'd never even considered a foot + sprocket interface.

Christ, not an attractive proposition.

i was attacking a corner on the supermoto yesterday, foot out and scraping the floor, caught a broken part of the road surface and it kicked my foot back into the swingarm. i'm very thankful that most SM bikes have this sort of guard already fitted, if you did get your foot caught you'd be looking at splitting it in two
