"if you can" - thats the key! A coupla years back, when I got sideswiped by a SUV I was overtaking, it was all over in a fraction of a second. The bike went down. The "engine guard" got bent, but it was the ONLY thing that saved my leg from being trapped/burnt. If I'd have had chance to roll away from the bike, I would have been squashed by the vehicles coming towards me. O.k. - go for the "pretty one" but if you have an accident like I did, and get your leg trapped, don't forget that we have all been trying to help you. Whatever you might think, the so called "engine guards" are meant to protect YOU. People here, who have had experience of the flimsy Suzuki guards, Know what they're talking about, through experience. If you think you know better than people who have fitted them, then so be it. Actually, you come across as though you don't want to be shown as being wrong on anything. Oh well...........
