Which steering guard?

<< < (3/4) > >>

crazymac:
I must admit that I like my guard, but as has been said already they do not prevent everything.

I still bent a steering rod while setting out the hill rally, and it is definately a hindrance in deep snow, as you ride up on the snow lifting your wheels off the ground!

I seem to have done exactly the same thing  :D though I'm not certain whether it was on the Hillrally or the first round of the BORC.

My steering guard is of the plate type and bought on the basis of the cheapest I could find at wahtever show it was. The racer currently has a vety nice Matt Lee alloy guard that has certainly been used as intended, but is going to be replaced with a Green Oval one when I get my act together.

And I suppose I better let H have a present of a new set of steering rods now  :D  otherwise she'll just sulk even more.

Hmm, seems like I may have to reasses my decision. Anyone know a good source for solid steel steering arms? Cheap but not crap if you know what i mean.

That said, I assume Diff guards are still worth having?

Avalible at all good stockists

extreme90:
ive got diffguards and britpart solid steel steering arms
the only problem i have had is snapping a track rod end due to the arm not giving but the ball joint did  :lol:

thats where carrying spares and thanking youself about copperslipping everything before fitting  :roll:

but ill never fit a steering guard to anything again, it makes a rear recovery a PITA as it lifts front end of vehical of the ground as winching back ( which was why i kept burning my huskey solenoids out  :shock: )
