Well I was over to my dealers about 2 weeks ago and noticed he started carrying Motosportz stuff,,,I was like,,thats cool... I was checking out a rear disc guard thinking to myself " man,,these things are nicely built",so I had him order me one for the front in black,and Fran being the smart person that he is,ordered a rear one in black also. He must of known that I wouldn't be able to resist. I went over the next Saturday morning and picked them both up,got home and had them both on in about 15 minutes. No need to lock tite the bolts because they already have red lock tite on them,,somebody was thinking when they put these together. Grabbed my gear and went for a ride with my brother up through the woods around his house and ended up coming around this 2nd gear corner(probably should of taken it in first,because the rest of what I'm gonna tell you probably wouldn't of happened if I did) and didn't swing it quite wide enough to make it around the edge of this rock that sticks up out of the ground several inches and bam......the guard smacks right into it and rides up it a little ways until the front tire washes out. I had all my gear on except my knee guards,,,just put it this way,,the guard fared alot better than my knee did against that rock. I'm still walking with a little bit of a limp and the guard came out of it with only some scratches. Another great product from Kelly that I would recommend to anybody...Another thing,,,these guards must be pretty good looking because my brother noticed them when I was riding up his driveway when I first got there(he was still about 20 feet away). When I shut the bike off,the first ? he asked was " where did you get the nice looking disc guards at??" and I'm not making that up either,thats exactly what he said. for Kelly for making a product that not only looks great but performs even better.
Too bad about your knee, but cool about the guards. I got my rear one from Fran and it goes on as soon as my bike gets back.
They are great! Mine are scratched with some deep grooves, but my rotors are in perfect shape. I wish I had these before I bent my first rotor. David
Ditto! Great product that has saved my rotors multiple times due to lack of talent and that Reiter place!
Double Ditto! However, they are fading, like my mind. Great product Kelly. Now, as you know I am still counting my nickels before I can put an order together. My new SM610 needed new riding gear for me because of running street more than dirt. I needed real good protection to make mama happy and that came at a bling freeze for now. The SM sure is fun.
Speaking of the 610sm, I wonder will Motosportz ever offer that beautiful guard for the supermoto crowd in 320, front disc size? Overkill you say? well so is the "push bar" on the front light.... I just really like the way it looks, maybe a small, limited production?
Send it back and I'll have it re-anodized by our new anodizer that seems to be able to make red last a lot longer.
Get enough interest in this and anything is possible. Setting up a machine to run 3-5 just does not make sense and not a lot of people need a disk guard for the street. I bet Woodschick could use on though.
Sadly there's little chance of Woodsy endorsement, she already expressed no interest in the guard as she don't tend to bend her rotors... Nop, I think for an sm guard to fly we'll need more blingify posers....(like myself -->) Oh well...... how 'bout leather tassels?...do you sell those????
StrokerAce makes those. Fading: No worries Kelly, they have done such a great job in fending off rocks they wouldn't look good re-anodized. Now, do you sell just the replacement guards without spacer? that could be part of my bling order when I get the $$ saved up.
