I love it, nice work.
For those of us who don't possess your skills, I use this guard from Hyde Racing |

I really like the look of the Hyde unit. Are they a PITA to remove/install for routine engine maintenance?

Great work fixmare! In the USA we call that a cow catcher, and it looks more than capable of doing the job!

They are a little bit of work to remove, 3 skid plate clamps and two pipe clamps. I just made the drain hole a little larger and I don't have to remove it for oil changes. The best part is that as a combo unit(skid plate and pipe guard) it seems to keep the pipe in better shape and doesn't allow it to get misaligned

Fixmare,
That is excellent work! I would love to have one of those. Andoman, The Hyde is PIA to R&R because the mounts suck. I made different mounts and its easier. I'm going to order a Hyde for an '11 and try to fit it to my '12, I can't ride without a pipe guard here. I may make some kind of hybrid with the hyde and the AXP plate it comes with that matches the frame. I agree with motoCNH, for me it works well and my pipe is in great shape. The nice thing about the new bikes is the mounting tabs on the frame, that solves the biggest problem of R&R, holding the bar in place and lining up the bolts/holes. |

here in bc canada those are quite common accessories on a 2 stroke. we do so much log hopping whether riding or racing, that missing a wheelie and smashing your pipe into a log is all to frequent around here. i've go the hollow tube and the pipe bender out right now fabbing up one for my 300.

In Hawaii too. I'd be in the market if a production unit was available, I've been looking for awhile. Whipps in Austrailia does not make a GG unit.
