A few months ago George at TEC showed these things on a video.  I thought it was a neat idea.  Here's an Amazon link;

I like them. (Not that anyone asked me)

Another take on the chain adjuster clean up...

[Jack Straw]

Ha!  I guess it's a boy.

I'm not so sure.
You need to stay abreast of things, assuming there is one on the other side.

Here’s another option, heat shrink sleaving.

That's as old school cool as it gets.

What is the reason for that?

What is the reason for that?

It was once popular to slip a piece of fuel line over the exposed ends of the chain adjuster, especially on bikes that were used off-road to protect the threads from dirt. That way if you had to make a quick chain adjustment by the side of the trail it was less likely that the adjuster nut would seize on the adjuster and possibly strip the thread. At least that's why I use to do it on my Enduro bikes.  On street bikes it keeps the threads clean and gives the adjuster a finished look.

6504me can better explain why he did it, but I know we have similar backgrounds so I think his thinking would be similar.

THX for the explanation.

THX for the explanation.

My pleasure

I prefer the design where a bolt screws into the swingarm rather than a naked stud ticking out, but the stud is cheaper.

Double flange nuts just looks stupid. Flange nut and lock nut looks better to me.

Covering the threads keeps me from ripping my hands up when cleaning around that area.

Nice touch, but those double flange nuts gotta go.

Sure . They will go in style soon
