As you know the CS roller can be a real problem, at least with me, never did get to one that my dealer was suppose to send, I have been trying different things from here and some of my own. Today I think I solved my problem, my son works at an ATV and Motorcycle shop and I found a chain roller that they use on MC's its made by Moose and had roller bearings in it, it was to wide so i cut in half and the bearings stayed in each half, now i have two of them, so far ti seems to be working fine, and I'm sure its a lot cheaper than original one and more durable than most of the ones we make, got two for 4.50 each

I made a homemade one out of bicycle innertube and some GOOP adhesive. it held up pretty good for quite a while. Later I saw at a traffic intersection a rubber bumper from a shock or something on the road, so I picked it up. I filled in the hollow part with RTV adhesive and let it cure for a couple of weeks real good. Then cut off the nub on the end and poked a hole through the center, and now I have a real spiffy rubber bumper roller on my scooter.

I was going to use a shock bushing also but I found the chain roller and thought it would work better with the bearings in it, wont wear in the same place all the time, I ride it for awhile to see how its holding up, if not to good I'll try the shock bushing.

I wanted a little rubber between the center stand and the engine crankcase bottom, so the metal doesn't wear a hole through the crankcase bottom. But I but the rubber iover the roller on the through bolt on the center stand. Thus it is more or less, free to rotate.
