I don't like the look of the belt guards.. My scooter looks much better without it! Unless you plan on runnin **** over like a bull dosser or going off road. you dont need it. OFF with it!!!!!

I took mine off and loved the look... but then I chickened out after a month, and put it back on.
But if you get down there and really look at it, it's hard to see how it keeps any debris out... it's open on two sides anyway.
Makes me wonder if it's the lawyers, not the engineers, who made H-D put it on there...

I took mine off then put them back on after noticing that the pulley looked like it was getting abraded from road sand/dirt. To clean it up a bit I altered the lower belt guard. I matched the radius of the pulley, trimmed the bottom so its level with the bottom of the belt, and cut out some of that triangle.
