Brake disc guard

MattCA · 02-11-2008, 08:06 PM

Im gonna be getting a new(to me) bike tomorrow. The only thing I dont like about hondas is that plastic disc guard over the front disc brake. Can you take this off without hurting it? Thanks.

yes you can

MattCA · 02-11-2008, 08:14 PM

ok good. I think its ugly lol.

tigmaster · 02-11-2008, 09:03 PM

I would suggest keeping it though. Many people get rocks caught up in there and destroy their $80 rotor. Just my opinion.

JThompson · 02-11-2008, 09:10 PM

It is there for a reason. Maybe find a nicer looking one?

tigmaster · 02-11-2008, 09:11 PM

They do make carbon fiber ones. Ooooo....

JThompson · 02-11-2008, 09:13 PM

Now that would be a nice upgrade

MattCA · 02-11-2008, 11:33 PM

ill have to look into it. how come other models don't have it? (i think, lol)

tigmaster · 02-12-2008, 06:18 AM

They are sell an option for it. Ever watch Supercross? Not a single rider does not roll without one.

I guess I'll just leave it on. Well I picked it up today. A 2001 cr125r for $1,100. He gave me 2 paddle tires and some oil's. Ill get some pictures up tomorrow. Way lighter and faster than my '93.
