Provincial Dibs on the Toe Guard , would like to see a piccy first and how it bolts on to the bike ?

[svdemon]

[arcdef]

if they are the R&G ones then you need to drill two holes and tap them, if not i have no idea.

[svdemon]

you will have to drill and tap two holes into the bottom of the swingarm

worth saving your foot though.

I have only know one person who would have found the guard useful and I would arge that in the event of an off, it would be more likely to act like a knife if any part of you met it head on instead of side on.

Nice looking bling bit, but not sure if its that practical/has much use in day-to-day riding.........

Thanks for slating my for sale item buddy!!!! You obviously haven't seen it, its has no sharp edges so its not going to cut you up. Its purpose is to stop your foot/leg going in to the chain/sprocket and hence getting ripped to shreds!!!

[xXBADGERXx]

I can drill and tap with no worries , is it an R&G one svdemon ?

[xXBADGERXx]

Well ....... fed up of asking which one it is , pass it on to somebody else .

Pleased to help :) I feel I was perfectly in the right to state that in my opinion, having looked at this kind of part and considered it for my own bike, that as a safety aid it is pointless, however it does look nice.....

Taking the description from the Puig Toe Guard

Puig Toe Guards are designed to help keep your toes and or feet out of the chain under the swingarm. Toe guards are used most often on race bikes. It is just added protection for the rider. They are made out of 4mm thick stainless steel and bolt right to your swingarm spool hole. These are lightweight and built to last. Available in BLACK ONLY.

And looking at the picture, I cannot really see a situation where that would be of any use to anyone, how would you get your foot in a position where it would be coming into contact with the chain under the swingarm from side-on? I am sure that had Plowsie had that fitted he may have taken more damage than he did - his foot slipped off his peg and went under the wheel - even 4mm will slice'n'dice with enough force.

It would be no use to me, its only the right hand I have slipped off twice, except for where I had a tank slapper and I caught both feet.

EDIT: I suppose if you were so unlucky to catch yourself in between the swingarm and chain and the wheel is spinning, spinning sprocket, yowch. Mind you, spinning wheel, in between the spokes, your looking at a bust leg, eurgh.

Sorry to derail a bit but how well would a good pair of boots protect you from the chain in an off, never really thoguht about it before.

[adjblade]

They are required for racing, an obvious safety feature. It would not cut through a pair of leathers or boots but could stop your limbs or fingers potentially getting caught in the chain and sprocket during a fall.

Its not the chain that is the worry, the sprocket is what could do the damage. If you get caught in between the chain and swingarm, imagine a sprocket spinning at 40mph...Would you like to take the chance of whether it will cut through leathers?

Feck it, it's just bling.
