I chucked mine.... just useless weight anyway....(keep the tiny bottom one, it can actually keep debris off the belt)... (that top one does nothing except potentially hold debris in)... ...

Dunno about you guys in the states, but in the antipodes a chain guard is a legal requirement on a motorcycle. I had it out with a cop a while back when he was giving my scooter a look over. I'd ditched the belt guard and he was gonna defect it. I pointed out that it's a belt, not a chain and the Rules say a CHAIN has to be covered, says nothing about a belt. I got away with that one. Grin

. Not so the missing front fender or obscured number plate... :'(

That one, does look like it was hacked for tyre clearance.

I might just take it off. But I had thought of putting my license plate on the rear curve. We'll see...I have to get my engine back together first, having went after the oil plug problem and checking my cam chain adjuster.
