LOL, lots of advice from folks in the Southern states saying that you don't need a belt guard.

Up here, our roads deteriorate quickly from frequent feeze-thaw cycles, leaving lots of chunks to get thown up to trash your belt and rear sprocket.

Default Lower belt guard

I think the lower and upper belt guards look much better than the belt.It gives the bike more of a finished appearance-that's why HD has them.

Really? Ya guess we don't get a whole lot of snow here in TX haha. Something to think about I guess depending on where you live and if you ride in the nasty stuff. I'll ride in the bitter cold but not when road conditions get bad.
