the stockers do not please me.
and the CF ones are just a more expensive version of the stockers IMHO
running with out them is less good and it leaves unsightly mounting tabs exposed.
cutting the tabs off off is a point-of-no return and would be undesireable for saftey reasons, belt/pulley longevity and for warrranty issues
i have seen different belt guards, and would like to either make my own or get a set made. it doesn't have to be billet or aluminum or anything spiffy.
i'd be making mine out of some thicker gauge sheet metal.
the 1125's guards remind me of the 03 XB guards. effective at protecting the belt, but is bulky and gets in the way when removing/replacing the tire.
i found some that look pretty good here

roadkillperformance doesn't even have a product image fro their $125 set-up. ... but they claim it saves 50g (just less than 2 ounces) of dead weight.
it is not only dead, but un-sprung!!! -gasp-
this parallels the fender eliminator, in that replacements are available at about/over a hundred dollars, but it could be a DIY project if you have some enough material and/or the right tools.
any body have blueprints/measurements/cardboard templates or can churn out a set for cheap?

I would like an effective lower belt guard to keep debris out that looks better than the stock guard. Something lower profile than stock but still as effective at keeping crap out...
I am running this lower belt guard (no top one), it is a Rizoma, thru Trojan Horse. It only fits the Ss, or Uly Swing arm though.
This belt guard is offered for the '05- swing arms
Not sure of anything for the 1125's sorry
solobuell makes some in fiberglass for 100+ Euros.
the link i posted didn't paste right or something ...
those rizomas look slick.
is the bottom one stamped or something super-snazzy?
The rizoma one does look really nice, but it also looks completely ineffective.
If I were going to risk crap getting under my belt I would just go without a guard at all.
The '05- Rizoma guard is most likely a stamped piece, the other lower guard that only fits the Ss, Uly is machined aluminum. Cost the same though..?..

looks like we may have a metal set going into production. i like what he has done with the XB guards
Damnit Xtremelow! After seeing that lower belt guard, I'm going to be held up another couple days before I get riding..........
.................not that custom one-offs are a bad thing............................:D
