    Which one do you use on your bike?

    I see ones made from CF, plastic, and metal. Any reconciliations?

    I'm leaning towards the GB racing plastic one but any experiences (installation mainly) with the other ones?

    Woodcraft..... Simply mark and tap the holes... Swingarms are softer than you think.... Blue Loctite it and your done...

    I got a custom made one. Made it my self with some alum and the break press.

    Buy a piece of aluminum on ebay for like 3.00 - 5.00 abd do it yourself.

    I have the Yoshimura installed on my gsxr 1000 2006 last week-end.
    I had to drill and tap my swing arm. Carbon model.

    I am using one from Harris. It simply bolts between the spool and the spool mount. No holes to drill and installs in about two minutes.

    Bought a Woodcraft. Now I just gotta figure out how far back I can put it and have it all line up and not wobble.

    So small problem. On the underside of my swingarm (2007 GSXR 1000) there is a gap right before where the spool is which happens to be in the prime spot to put the toe guard. Anybody have a pic for a 07-08 GSXR 1000 with a woodcraft installed? I don't want to put this to far forward to be effective.

    My 09 has the same gap... I put it a few mm in front.. Remember it needs to be in front of the sprocket and not just over it...

    You may want to put a piece of rubber in between the swingarm and the guard, as we had a couple vibrate/crack. Once we put that on, no problems.

    Thanks for the pics and advise! I had mine mocked up that forward but wasn't sure.
