The KTM guide does not fit the Beta, they are completely different in size. See my post above with the fixing centres.

I have one of each in my toolbox if you need a comparison photo.

Thanks. I was hoping that the linkage KTM swingarm guide tabs would be the same, as yours was stated as being a PDS. Anyway, heading over to my local KTM dealer tonight to have a look see myself.

I'm pretty sure they are all the same but I'll be interested to hear if not

Yes PDS and Linkage KTM's have the same chain guide so no joy.

Yes, I found the same unfortunately. Guess its wait for an aftermarket solution or roll your own. I know I'll be leaving the softer stock guide on until then. It took a pretty good hit on the side with some material loss but swingarm tab is still OK. If it was stiffer I don't think that would be the case. Thanks for your efforts.

I recently inquired with Bullet Proof Designs about a Beta version of the swingarm guard and got the following answer:

"We are trying to get a new Beta 300 RR in the shop to work on the front disc guard. They tell us the Marzocchi forks are different and the front disc guard is different. I will have my programmer look at the swingarm and see how difficult it will be to make one. Then I will follow up!
Thanks,

If I hear back from Nate, I'll post his feedback.
