Those are nice guards. We have a bunch of guys here that have those style too. I guess anyone that ride rocks get creative. I like those but they are a bit pricey and heavy.. but still great.. It just depends on what you are into. Anyway I was interested in pipe guards and just called flatland racing to see if they had something there for us 2 stroke 300's. Mike the owner answered and he seemed quite eager to build but said he didn't have a Beta pipe to use as a template. He said if I sent in my pipe it would be a day turnaround and he'd sell me the guard for $80 like I think all his other guards go for. He said he'd make a few more if he felt he could sell any so I'm here letting everyone know. If you want one contact him and put your name down for one. I'm thinking I'll send my Beta pipe to him the beginning of next week. I only rode my 300 one afternoon so I'm still just using my moose racing generic 2 stroke pipe guard . It looks good enough actually but the flatland is nicer and stronger and reasonable enough of a price. ..but I wanna ride this bike this weekend and this week if possible. it's awesome and I'll send the pipe off after that to have the guard made.. Anyone who wants one contact flatland racing.. probably speak to Mike the owner or leave a message for him that you want a guard too.. otherwise he may not have one for you later if you want one.
We went riding Friday afternoon... the 2 hondas have that kind of cage guards..
