If you wanna see pics, I have a thread on here from doing my lowering/turn signal relocation.

Last pic down and you will see the beauty of "letting your guard down":

Im 50/50 on it so far... it has a nice stripped down look but at the same time I think it takes away from the look of the bike... I'll have to see what it looks like with my new rear fender and post some pics.

Not meaning todetract from the thread, but what fender did you go with?

Regarding the belt guards: I think the top guard compliments the bike well. The bottom one, take it off. However, taking the top off not only adds a raw, stripped look, but adds focus and accentuates the rear rotor/pulley (my lack of accurate terminology is embarrassing). I was amazed how much bigger that rear pulley got after taking the guards off. I like that.
