Smoothspyder Belt Tensioner & Spyderpops Belt Guard

[wbreda]

Anybody using one of Jim's newest version of the belt tensioner that bolts to the rear shock mount, with a Spyderpops belt guard. I already have the guard installed and just purchased the tensioner. I now wonder if I can install it with the guard in place.

Don't know..!!

for sure but you should be able to mount it without any problems. I have the older version but had the belt protector on before hand and had no problems. Your instruction are pretty good and you could call and ask them....:thumbup:

So, I went ahead with the install and found it easier to just remove the Spyderpops guard. It probably will work with the newly-designed Smoothspyder tensioner, but I found difficult to complete the installation with it in place and also no longer see a benefit of having both. The new tensioner has a guard incorporated and will offer adequate protection.
