boots guards

[patrickg450]

just returned a boat load on the search.......


what/who/where can I get info on boot guards for the brake (right) and drive shaft (left)? I did see a left on ADVmotard, any others?

Mine came with some from the factory that are 100% functional...

Touratech has them too, but I like the look of the Altrider's the best.

I have had a couple of times when on "leaping" onto the bike my jeans have gone over the stock part and almost over balanced, I am very wary of it happening now but would put an Altrider part on the list fo stop happening again

yea just to clarify, I had a WHOOOAAAA!!!!! Pants leg got hung on the right side, I got my foot off and then down but those were 3 scary seconds. looking for something better/aftermarket that sticks out less.

That's exactly the reason I went for the AltRider option.....
Love 'em.
I feel that they also provide a tinny bit more room on the pegs too.

Look at the AltRider and Touratech versions and consider picking up some aluminum sheet and aviation snips and making up your own. Even if you buy good tools, it's cheaper than buying the nice options. That said, I just bought the AltRider ones when I first got my Super Ten, it was easy and they work great and look good too.

just checked the altrider page, yea thats what I need, thanks for the help. It is going to have to wait until payday but I will get them (master cylinder and U-joint guards).


Any reviews?

Any reviews?

Sure, I've had them on for 40k+ miles and like them a lot. My only gripe is the gap between the u-joint guard and the heat shield. My hydration hose has gotten in there and melted a couple of times.

I too was a victim of the boot guard fall. :-[ I was pulling into my shop standing on the pegs and caught my jeans pants leg on the left boot guard and couldn't get it off before I fell. I was able to catch the handlebar on a cabinet that kept me from going all the way over. I knew what happened and as soon as I got off I went in the house and ordered a Touratech boot guard. Easy install and no more problems. May have to look at the right side but didn't think it would be a problem. :-\

I installed a Alt Rider U-Joint guard as well. I will second what liguorien said about providing a little more room. Before, the inside of my left ankle would rub on the stock guard enough that I would notice and be annoyed by it. That's no longer an issue with the Alt Rider bit.
