Belt Guard Yes or No?

[MidLifeCrisis]

Just what's on the SpyderPops site. Once you install it, it pretty much disappears.

I installed the belt guard when I first got my RS-S because I live on a gravel road. I've had no problems so far. Nice work Spyderpops and thanks! :thumbup:

Can they be installed with a belt tensioner on a RS?

If it is hard to see then when you buy a used spyder how can you tell if it has one on it?

You can see it from the right side of the bike. If you look underneath and can see the belt directly in front of the tire, it doesn't have one. You can see it from the same position on the left, but tougher to tell what your looking at, if unfamiliar with it.

Photos of Beltguard

Anyone have a photo of the belt guard installed?

I drive 0.6 miles on chat (crushed limestone) to the blacktop but I go real slow...

I took some photos for the NZ Spyder forum when I fitted mine:

Thank you, those are some very nice and clear photos. I completely understand how it goes on now.

I don't have one yet pps:, but I'm being cautious until I do! :thumbup:

:agree: Same here, been thinking about it for a while. Many times "chatt gravel" will be on the pavement in the spring left over from the mixture put down with Salt when it snows from winter. You can hear this stuff flying up hitting your fender wells in the car. I think the belt guard is worth getting.
