I wss wanting to stock up on chain guide and slider parts, just in case cant get them later. Are these only dealer items or do you guys know of any aftermarket ones?
People like this are what made (make?) Alta such a great company. Thanks Datadog for still helping us owners, even when it's no longer your job to do so.This thread lists some parts that crossover. - Link
Japanese suppliers would call the front pat a 'chain buffer' and the rear a 'chain guide.' The front part is a disaster, something Alta was planning to change in the future. The rear guide can be replaced with a guide from a 2014 KTM 250.
I have a new one if needed. Where are you located?If someone has a new chain slider or rub block, I can reproduce them. Original part would be returned with a new copy. hotfootmotollc@yahoo.com
I was thinking about purchasing an Alta, but am holding off for now. Fingers crossed someone buys it.

If the part were modified appropriately in the corect area prior to pulling the mold would that work? What would an appropriate material to build up the correct area before sending it to you?I would need to have a 3D printed part from that design in my hand to copy. We pull a mold from the original part.
We definitely need this part. For the stock sliders it is only a matter of time that the chain will loosen up and the slider will break. This would be a safe bet project for you. We could either buy a batch, or you could sell them on this site.I would need to have a 3D printed part from that design in my hand to copy. We pull a mold from the original part.
That's what I was thinking too. Build up the stock slider with some foam covered with epoxy to fill the gap to the swing arm. Then make a mold from it.
