Chain Guard
Hey guys.....This is the first bike I have ever owned that had a chain guard....Do you really need it? I don't like the looks of it? Also I just realized half of you are from Australia.....That is so awesome MATE lol.....Don't worry, I'm southern so you will probably see me write y'all a lot

Nawth Cahlahna huh ? 
My friend, Tim, was from Georgia - another Southern Gentleman see my siggy. Nearly 6 months since Tim died.......He rode a 93 model 1000F. I miss him every day................
Chaingard is a good idea for keeping cr-p off the chain, apart from the safety aspect - if you've ever had a chain go, you'd be happy to have a chainguard, but your choice. You could have it covered in carbon-fibre which looks very good too.
Also helps to keep chain grease off your kit........(clothes)
And if y'all think the men from Downunder (Australia) are strange...........
you've never met any from the land of the Zulus We're just as odd................
Now, y'all come on down and visit, y'all...............

I don't think anyone ever made a hugger for the Mk2 and 3 bikes (89-96)
If they did I've never seen one.
Pity, because I'd love one.
Maybe Sixpack can build one like he did for the rear seat cover......
C'mon Rob, get busy.......................
BTW the Mk1 hugger won't fit the later bikes because of tyre size...............
