Default Bike armour

What do you have in the way of "Armour" for your scooter, atm I only have an AXP bash plate, pipe guard and rad guards. I am looking at some engine protection and a chain guard.

What are you running? What do you consider necessary/unnecessary? What would you like protection for that's not available?

Pics of what you're running would be great, and if you have a crossover from another brand that works could you post it up please?

Depends on what you are riding, for me it is rocks rocks and then some more rocks. So alloy pipe/bash plate are a must. Radiator braces and clutch cover protection as well. I also run full wrap around hand guards to stop broken levers and smashed knuckles. Axp makes good gear. Bark busters for the hand guards and I think the clutch cover was a polisport one. I can not remember who the pipe guard/bash plate was from but it was not a carapaks one.

Rodent,I?ve been using the axp bashy on the GP for 300 hrs now and it?s starting to show signs of wear near where the left foot peg frame rail is. I highly rate them and I?ve got a spare to replace my worn one.
I?m happy with the arrangement of carbon pipe guard and axp and believe in committing or over committing to avoid folding pipes on large obstacles.

I gather they aren't the most popular, but my Hyde Racing all in one pipe guard / skid plate is amazing. It's held up to several seasons of heavy abuse without damage. Other than that.... full wrap bar guards (Cycra CRM), and brake snakes on brake pedal, and shifter.
