    I am never surprised seeing how bashed up my rotor guards get in the rocky rutts we ride. I;m sure it has saved a bent rotor more than once.

    I'll try to get you a photo of mine Kelly. I think I have some deeper gouges than that in my rear guard. The rear sharkfin is one of the first protective parts I add to my bikes.

    Here is my rotor guard after 6 enduros, 4 hare scrambles, and 10 or 15 days of trail riding. The leading edge of the guard is all scraped up, but I have yet to find ANY damage to my rotor. Unfortunately, the red guards were sold out when I wanted to get one, so my black guard isn't quite as pretty as Kelly's red one...

    thinking about getting one of the rear guards.

    question:
    in the description for the disc guard it says that it replaces the axle spacer.
    what keeps the disc guard from moving when it takes an impact ?

    This new gen Motosportz rear "sharkfin" is a well thought out design. The thing flat works and is a true bullet proof Anti-DNF device. (Mine is on the MY11 TE310). The item replaces the axle spacer and is lever armed (locked) onto the brake caliper carrier, its a logical, simple and structurally sound installation. (Did I explain that well? Check in MotoSportz).
    I opted for no anodize knowing it would end up gouged all to hades after a few rides anyway. (I'll post a foto as well)

    It lips over and wraps around the caliper mount...

    I assume the main shaft of the axle goes thru the hole of the guard? I can't figure out why my 2009 TXC rear axle is too large diameter to fit?

    Anyone else have this problem or am I mis-installing it somehow?

    Thanks
