working on my wideglide i removed the lower belt guard and to be honesti liked the look without the guard. would it be daft to ride without itor woud i be ok only its there for a reason

 

There was a post about this...there was a lot of good opinions and thoughts. Do a search under the dyna section and you should find it.

 

one rock in between the belt and pulley and you are walking...

 

Yep....Its there for a real good reason.
If ya dont like it....get a chrome one

 

moco wants to squeeze every penny out of the cost of their bikes. i believe if they thought the belt guard wasn't necessary, it wouldn't be there. it costs them to manufacture it, install it, and remove/reinstall during warranty work. it's certainly not there for looks!

i dont run one, they look crap and the stone thing?? really....

My upper is gone but havent touched the lower ...YET

 

My thinking is that the lower belt guard is cheezy lookin',chromed or other wise and I doubt it offers much protection from flying debris. It would depend on which way the rock was flying since it only protects the outer edge of the belt.

My cover has been off for about ten thousand miles and some of those sleasy beer joints out in the county that we hit on poker runs have nothing but gravel and dirt on their parking lots. No problems so far and I just like the look a lot better.

Good Luck

ya beat me to it!

 

I would leave it and the chrome ones or thestock ones don't look that bad. Its there to protect the belt last time I checked its an important part of the bike running correctly.
