Well SBP did have a good reason for suppling a cover for the jack shaft kit. You know that little cover for the top little wheel. But oh no I had to be different and not use it. Well my jeans melted like butter as those fast eating little teeth chewed on the end of them.

You are lucky your leg did not get pulled in as well.
Put the chain guard back on .

i have the same jeans LOL. Pre cover check ride. Talk about "Bell Bottom Blues" I used to have similar problems in the old days with bikes that did not have a chain guard

I ripped mine while kick starting the bike, pants got caught in the jack shaft sprocket, I lost my balance and stepped off my bike and shredded my pants "new", but they were cheap".

I keep thinking of adding that cover, but I wear shorts most of the time, so it's normally not an issue. Watching that thing going down the road, it sure looks hungry though "yummy pants".

I have done this to almost all of my jeans, due to that sprocket, tho its not that bad. I broke the cover on my bike due to riding with Khakis and the pant cuff ripped the cover.

I built my cover with snaps. That sort of solved the getting at the gear to tighten/adjust it in the beginning issue.
