SuzukiSavage.com - Which engine guard is best?

Savage = HD eater Junior Member Offline Posts: 73 So Cal Gender:	Which engine guard is best? 10/31/08 at 14:30:27 Hi all!!! I have a 98 Savage and I'm looking for a great looking, high quality engine guard. Any suggestions of something that fits our bike and will protect things should a "tip-over" occur?? Also, if you could let me know the best place to look for them? Thanks!

Reply #2 - 11/01/08 at 10:07:38 I can second that. When I went down the OEM's did not get a scratch on them. In my defense they came with the bike, I did not buy them.

Reply #3 - 11/01/08 at 13:05:27 "Wingerline" Engine Guards appear to be superior to the OEM ones ... I have not tried 'em, nor do I have a link, but they look like the real deal from pics I've seen ... maybe some Members that have 'em installed can comment?

Try either zooming into the posted image or download the original based on the url to it. It should be a decent resolution. If you can't get it, shoot me an email and I'll email it to you.
