missing belt guard from SpyderPops feed back please
How about some feed back from those having the missing belt guard from SpyderPops on their Spyders that have ridden on dirt roads.
I see occasionally people saying to get one but I don't see much from people that have them. To me this they don't cause problems but it doesn't say much about how well it works.

Belt guard
I think it is because they have not had a problem when installed.

I have had two, both went flying.

Mine's still attached. Then again I haven't gone down any dirt roads with the Spyder.

... Motorcycles are kind of like Baskin Robbins... You're looking at 31 flavors of ice cream, don't you kind of want to know what they all taste like?...

Mines attached and I do ride on gravel. It is simple to install and I think it serves the purpose of keeping rocks out of your belt. It is basically just a piece of light weight plastic (so light I thought the box was emty when I got it.) But if you drive on gravel it is a must, one of the first thing I put on!

Hard to prove a negative
I have one, it's still there, and have had no problems with my belt...

Do not mess in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

How long have you had the belt guard from SpyderPops on your Spyder? how often do you ride on gravel?

How long have you had it and do you ride on gravel or dirt?

Belt guard
Some of the dealers where not putting the front of the guard back on right.
Harvey has changed it so the dealer can not but it back on wrong.

I've had my SpiderPops Missing Rock Guard on for a year. I live on a bad gravel road in Montana, but haven't had a rock in my drive belt, yet. I think it's doing its job, and it's cheap insurance. Easy to install yourself, and IT WORKS. CapNCrunch

I ride 4 miles of rock and gravel roads to get to pavement so every trip means 8 miles of rock/gravel travel before I get back home. Haven't had a problem and feel it is necessary for our conditions. Sometimes the road is "tacky" from moisture and I hear a lot of noise from small rocks hitting the underside of the bike but no problems with rocks in the belt. I believe it should be a part of the bike from the factory.

Doing well!!
have had one on for almost a year, some dirt roads, no problems but I do suspect it of fluttering giving sense of vibration...
