Default Front Rotor Guard

What are my options for a front Rotor guard? I had/have a carbon fiber guard but it is thrashed and I don't like the way it mounts the the fork leg plastic. I am interested in the kind that use the axle bolt as the main attachment point. Anyone running one of these style on a 07+ bike with the 50mm zokes?

Topar Engineering makes some nice guards for several bikes.
I put one for an older KTM on my 2002 EC300. I had to add some
washers as spacers to make it fit right. But it is strong and does
what it should.

Did you have WP's on that bike or Zokes?

In his original post that he linked Jeff said he had WP usd forks. That being said, Slocalspode, is that an aftermarket axle bolt on your bike? I broke the one on my '00 (WP's) and the one on my kids '04 is an allen head bolt, I think mine was also, but he has zokes. I would like to get a hex head like that one. Where do you get them?

As far as I know that is the stock Axle. It has the ~19mm internal hex head
on one end and a 10mm threaded hole on the other. With the flange head
bolt to clamp the axle in the fork lowers. Like I said in the other post.
I used 4-6 flat washers. 10mm ID X 20mm OD to fill the hole in the
Topar disk guard. The KTM uses a external threaded axle with a cap nut
on that end. It would be easy for Topar to make the modifications for it
to fit perfectly for the GasGas. I asked them, but, they did not seem to
interested in listening to me. In fact. He did not really want to sell it to
me when I told him what I was planning to do with it. Seemed he was
worrying about liability or getting a bad rep if it failed in any way. I assured
him it was fine and even sent those pictures to prove it.
Oh well. Jeff
