They work.... if you go through allot of vegetation, get something else... they like to grab it on the way through.....

I bought the one Freddette racing has. I've hit some pretty good size rocks with it and it's still in one piece and no dents in the pipe. It did have a weak spot after one big rock hit but nice thingis, they're easy to repair because they are fiberglass. They attach to the pipe via metal hose clamps. I like mine, have repaired it and repainted it black....... good as new. I got some glass resin and some glass matting from the local auto parts chain. Then it was just a simple process of layering the glass matting down. It's better now than when I first bought it. You can go to the link section of the site and look for Fredette racing and it will sendyou to the site, then click on catalog and then exhaust. If your interested.

i made my own from a fiberglass boat repair kit. made it very thick and is pretty strong. not exactly pretty, but it works and was less than $10. i think i got the instructions, idea from the just kdx site.

OK...I can understand sliding down a gravel road...once, but sliding down a "couple" of gravel roads? I kinda took the lesson that hurt the first time and looked diligently for new ways to scrape skin off. Found a few too!
BTW, I have the same guard and it seems to work just fine :neutral:
