Anybody on here have any issues with the woman on the back while riding if you removed both your belt guards? Asking cause I got my wheel off right now and was thinking about leaving both the top and lower guards off. Just would hate to get her jeans sucked in by the belt.

I left the top on and removed the bottom. No issues with the wife. However, the next day after taking the bottom off, I rode on gravel road for a short distance. I was thinking to myself, "yeah, you probably should have kept the lower on".

Sure this is totally personal preference. One of the first things I do on all my bikes is pull the guards. I don't like the belt or chain hidden from visual view and I always look at it before I ride. saved me once from losing a chain on a sport bike, the master link clip had come off. if I had the guards on I would not have seen it.

have had street bikes since I was 16. 30yrs later of riding, lots of bikes and lots of female passengers, 15 of them with the wifey, not one instance of caught pant leg. although, in my younger years all of my female passengers wore mini skirts or short shorts. lol

general rule anyway for a passenger or rider, no floppy laces and no floppy pant legs. with the solo bag on my Breakout there is no way a pant leg can get close to the belt anyway.

Well, if that happens, what's wrong with girls with short legs

Like LA said, it's your responsibility to check what she wears before you give her a ride

Ha! Obviously, she made clear her feelings about that, and he quickly and vividly saw the error of his ways!

Any recommendations on a "bad ***" derby cover? I am looking at the darkside edition from precission billet but can't seem to find any other companies doing "different" stuff. As always thanks for the help.
