Is it a bad idea....

[redroosta]

Can anyone tell me other than looks the plus/minus to removing the chain guard? ?

The best reason to remove it is to replace it with the Zeta guard from Forrest over at www . wheelingcyclesupply . com

Sweet bro thanks. I love Forrest- just got my Edge tail light today.

Hey guy does that zeta bolt up to the stock holes. That thing is mint

Lines up perfectly. 20 second install.

I just went to the wheelingcyclesupply website and it says it fits s and sm.

20 second, I cant get the damn thing off. They must have used super glue to put mine on. I cant get either of the 2 screws loose.

Funny you should mention that. I can get one off, the rear one, but can't get the front one off either. I've tried impact driver and other methods but no go.

I agree it seems like it's glued somehow. Cheap piece of plastic too. ?

The only downside to it, which I looked past, is when you lube your chain...the guard keeps the excess "goo" from flinging back up at you and the bike. Other than that, its another ugly plastic piece!

Unless your state DOT requirements state that you need one...dump it! or bling it!

That front sprocket guard looks trick too. I'm going to get both at the same time. Super cool.

I was worried about that when I replaced mine with the Zeta but I haven't seen any dirtiness on the bike from the chain after putting on the Zeta...But then again I use Maxima Chain Wax which is much cleaner anyway...
