Anyone know what's involved in removing them? I cut mine off using a boxcutter so I could install my fork gators. They're hard plastic.

Dumb question here - what's a fork guard?

It's a metal or plastic piece that covers the front of the fork tubes. It keeps road debris and bugs off the fork tubes where they contact the seals. This extends the life of the seals.

New Savages have them stock and it's an optional piece that screws to the Superbrace.

Posts: 415 NW Oregon Gender:	Re: ? about Superbrace Reply #12 - 02/20/06 at 17:49:10 Has anyone successfully installed a Superbrace on an 05 or 06 S40? I was looking at my forks today, and even with removing the guards, it doesn't look like there is clearance above the fender for the brace. ???
