Belt Guard?????? HELP PLEASE????!!!!!
I have a 2009 street bob, i recently was installing the passenger foot pegs for my bike which replaces the belt guard bracket and bolts the belt guard right up to the peg.........my dumb *** actually stripped the front bolt, (so my question to the more experienced riders) is the belt guard really all that necessary or should i get to working on getting that suborn screw off of the belt guard??????? what are your guy's input on belt guards?????

I run without it. However, if you plan to take a passenger make sure they either wear tight clothing and have NOTHING that can get in there. I personally would run it if I was going to stick someone back there.

Thank you! I personally think it lends a bit to the bob styling, minimalist.
Just drill/tap a new hole, take it on and off as necessary. It's only 2 bolts holding it on and how often will she ride?

+1 with the belt guard removed. I personally like the clean look. I ride two up and haven't had any problems yet. Sounds like a pretty easy fix if safety is a concern though by drilling a larger hole as suggested.

Maybe if you were taking it in for a belt failure!!!!
The dealer cannot deny warranty unless they can prove the mod was the cause of it. It is a federal law.
