Default Before and After: Chrome Belt Guard (pics)
I think only the trained eye could tell a difference, but it's an $85 must have for a chrome rear end. I'm sure it'll all come together after the other parts get installed.

Nice and relatively cheap mod IF your into the chrome look. I went the exact opposite way with my belt guards....

But I DID put on a solid chrome pully cover

You are right - it will come together. Nothin like bling bling.

I have these too but am torn between the look of chrome and no lower guard. That is, when I don't have my bags on. Decisions, decisions........

I have one on mine. I later installed a diamond plate to mount my Leather Works solo bag. So it's hidden unless you look through the mag rim from the right side of the bike.
