Hi there, & welcome to the madhouse

I've been riding for many years, & I've got a bee in my bonnet about NEVER riding without an engine guard. Despite the name, it's job is actually to protect your legs. If the bike goes down (actually, I mean WHEN the bike goes down, because I don't think there's a biker on the planet who hasn't gone down at one time or another) that's the only thing that'll stop you getting your leg trapped under the bike, or burned by the engine/exhaust. One word of caution if you do decide to get one - don't get the suzuki guard - it's for decoration only, & doesn't do the job it's supposed to do. I'm sure someone will come in here, with some recommendations on the best ones to get. I can't help you there, as I'm not in America. :2tup:
