    To me the forged ones are just fancy roost guards... they may protect the side hit if you fall just right but we all know those pointy rocks screw stuff up and make radiators look like tacos....

    For the "trail trash" problem I found a great solution.... I put nylon stockings over the guards, the mud is stopped before it can clog up the bottom of the guards and all the leaves and stuff just bounces off.... And trust me I run over everything.... lol Unabiker guard 1.jpeg Unabiker guard 2.jpeg unabiker guard 3.jpg

    Yup them look solid racemx. Plenty of side impact/crush protection. Look similar to force but think force only have 3 braces (2 front 1 rear). Unabiker yeh?

    Ya Unabiker..... Some of the biggest GNCC and ISDE guys use them....

    I like that they convert the KTM to the kickstand rubber (which most use already) and have a spot for the rubber to hook...

    I did a full on drop from about 4 ft high directly on radiator and didnt do a thing to the radiator... It screwed up my shroud but thats it

    A riding buddy of mine is a SRT dealer and he has them on his 300 xc w. They look really decent and I'd say very comparable to the bullet proof ones. I wouldn't shy away from them. They replace the louvers and don't wrap around like the 7602 unibiker or enduro engineering style.

    Thanks. Yes they are more airy and with uni i had issues with air flow on my yz450, ran 250/270deg when i hit texhnical bits in woods (without fan). So, if i go guards now, they will have flow. In my opinion those factory leuvers are designed to scope air from tank leuver and are an incredible design. I think there is air flow lose when adding braces. Im adding fan because of my neg experience. And yes i do understand 2t is a cooler bike

    Here you have to remove a lot because the sticks and leaves clog them up....

    SRT only guard the front they are not side ptotection....

    Yes it seems i have to clean rads too, maybe front mount would be my best bet for cleaning. I bought a TM designs skid plate and man is this permanent
