Swingarm guards? Make sure to order a full crate of bubblewrap at the same time. We don't want to scratch anything on a dirt bike...LOL!

Well, I'm mainly kidding. People ought to buy and do with whatever they want. I can definitely see protecting the paint and other rub/contact points on street bikes, but it still gives me a small grin to see so much aesthetic protection on a trail bike. Skid plates, fork guards, and items like that definitely have their place to actually protect items that can be severely damaged riding off road, but the cosmetic stuff just seems like extra weight and in some cases just a mud trap. But it's a free country...at least until the democrats ruin it...so carry on...and don't take this seriously...LOL!

I go with no guards, I don't want my bike to have less scars than I do!

Isn't fun without some jokes and they will probably get broken off at some point the way I've been riding lately. Mainly doing it to black out the swing arm, decided to go this route instead of black vinyl

My skid plate has definitely gotten its fair share of abuse crossing downed trees and stones chips from the front tire

If you were one of my students you'd have done it with Sharpies.
