ACGS Aluminum Chain Guard & Heat Shield – Fits LO206 & Animal

Protect Your Clutch and Your Arm

On an LO206, the exhaust pipe runs dangerously close to your right arm and the chain guard. The **ACGS Aluminum Chain Guard** solves two problems at once. It covers your clutch to meet safety rules, and it features an integrated **heat shield** strip to deflect searing heat away from your driver suit.

Made from lightweight aluminum, this guard bolts directly to the **Briggs LO206** and Animal side cover. It is rigid enough to protect the driver gear from debris but light enough not to weigh down your chassis. The added heat protecton is a game-changer for long race days where accidentally leaning on a hot pipe can ruin your focus.

Features

• Dual Purpose Design: Acts as both a chain guard and an exhaust heat deflector.
• Universal 4-Cycle Fit: Bolts onto standard Briggs 5HP, Animal, and LO206 blocks.
• Durable Aluminum: dissipates heat faster than plastic guards.
• Compact Profile: Clears most rear tires and seat struts easily.
