What have you done to bike » Avant guard

Couldn't find a fender extender that I liked, so bought the £149 bit of plastic that is the Avant guard engine protector.
It's horrendously overpriced but looks better when fitted than I thought.
Fairly pleased.

I’m not sure what the avant- guard is supposed to do: I’ve got 58,000 km on my bike now and the front of the engine still looks fine ( although the exhaust cross- pipe is well blasted.

So, to sum up, i've wasted £149.
Bummer

No, I don't think you've wasted it. Given that the engine casing gets hot, any crud will be cooked on, which is fine if you're a bit OCD about cleaning your bike after every ride, but personally, I prefer riding it to washing it

I’ve had my Avant Guard on since nearly new. 2015 bike. I also have a fenda xtenda (and a reinforced mudguard). Great kit, worth every penny.

I live in an area with a significant Amish population. Fresh horse dung has a high nitrate concentration and, thus, highly corrosive. Accordingly, I like my AvantGuard.

+1 for the guard.

Same here. I have been happy with mine. It is easier to clean than the engine case and handles rock chips better.

I resemble that remark

I also got the Avant guard (was/is on sale for $49 in the US) and the mudsling. Easier to clean and keep road grime off the engine and headers.
