Just an FYI note, as reported before, last month I reached the fatigue life of my Up-Tite mid-pipe guard after 1 year of abuse. I replaced it with the OEM piece last month,,,it (the OEM piece)has all ready reached its fatigue life and cracked and separated from the mount screw, the hanger from the subframe is all that is holding it. NEXT!!! again its a no sweat thing just wanted to mention it for the record. I have been riding every weekend @ 40 miles per ride, so best estimates for mileage is @200-250 trail miles before failure. R
My Motosportz guard has held up well for just over 600 miles. You can see here it is well worn but still fully functional. Later,
got it, for a change. 3rd brand going on!! (I like the 2 location point mount set up) and mild steel (yes?) should deal with the vibe factor well. Was looking at super trick CF but at 2x cost, I jumped on this nice one. Thanks for the reminder, R
Home made one. 3000 miles later, no fatigue, bent a couple of times from falling. $1.50 for the metal, a couple of SS bolts, nuts and clamps and a little bit of time. Fabricating your own is very relaxing.
very cool but I have way too many projects going,,,kids basket case XR100, friends basket case KX125,,,,,full time job and side business!!! plus always finding time to ride ride ride!!! Thanks I opted for the motosportz this time, had one(from the old co.) on my 04TC450 with never an issue
