By looking at your old posts, I found that you have an '04f (same as me)
There are no case guards made for the F models. You MIGHT be able to fabricate something, but you'd have to cut into the fairing. As is, the fairing is flush with the engine case. The guards would need to stick out further that that to do any good.

+1
I would be interested in some for 04+ "F" models also. They would be similar to Alpha's right? That would be great :thumb:

To fit under the fairing ... the thing has to be made from flat steel bar ... but the general shape ... yea I'd venture to guess that will be its overall shape, I may make the thing a bit wider ... need to catch the ground well before the case gets close to it, and account for it flexing etc ... and sliders will bolt to it ...

Highway pegs would be able to bolt to it right? I'd weld on some pegs to stretch out my feet if I were able to :thumb:

So you're taling about next to the header pipe? Wouldn't that create some clearance issues and also cornering issues?
I'm probably thinking of the wrong spot...
