ive been debating on whether or not i want to take the chain guard off my bike. i feel like it would give it a much cleaner appearance and it doesnt really serve much purpose. the only thing its really there for is to keep lube from flinging (use maxima wax so no worries there) on to my undertail and since i always ride solo, im not worried about a passenger putting their foot onto the chain. does anyone else ride without a chain guard and is it truly safe to take it off? ive never seen any motogp guys with one on their bikes...
