I've been running an open belt on mine for 4 years now, never had a problem with little rocks getting kicked up. The ball bearing set up is sweet!! I put one on last year. Highly recommend it.

There are some cool covers out there, check Ebay, theres a guy in CA that will custom make a cover for you for about $250.
