Chain guard - yes or no?
Do you lot bother with them on on the pointy's?
I know the obvious benefit is to save it kicking crap up but it looks a lot better with it off? Cheers |

Re: Chain guard
It also saves your left leg from being torn to pieces in the event of a chain snap.

Re: Chain guard
Get a hugger, better looking and provides a more useful feature!

Re: Chain guard
And yes, its useful as Fallout stated. I had a hugger, not much more effective apart from keeping some dirt/mud off the undertray but I prefer the hugger-less look. I'd cut down the end of the chain guard so end doesn't appear to stick out so much and get rid of the sticker.

Re: Chain guard
I just got rid of the sticker today, what a bloody nightmare that was! Polished the bike all up as well.
I don't know it I could fit a hugger on as my exhaust might be in the way. How Much did you cut it down by then? |

Up to you, get the fit you want. I removed maybe a couple of inches and tried to finish it so there's no pointy edge sticking out. Just take your time really. |
