Header pipe guard for 2010+ Betas?

[Hawaiidirtrider]

The header pipe is out there and if you ride in rocks and boulders and fall over the header pipe to me looks to get smashed. I was wondering if anyone has a guard for the newer Beta's there...Anyone ?

Actually, the header on the new bikes is as much tucked in as it can be on a 4-stroke. Also it is stainless steel and.... yes I haven't found any protection so far (but never needed it...).

Greek Beta, products look nice! Cant read their language though. Do they ship to the states? How much would a pipe guard be in U.S.?

another option is exhaust rap . I tried it thought it be a dual purpose deal. reduce heat and keep from burning pants when you fall over. works pretty good kind of depends on how much and how hard you fall and how long it takes to get the bike off your leg when you do fall hahaha . put it this way it still burns but at least it doesn't singe. anyway summit racing carries it. It took 1 and a half ( ithink they were 14' rolls) dont bother with there crappy clamps just use regular hose clamps. Does give added protection and last fairlly well . I've gotten at least 5 good rides out it so far and I do tend to fall..........

Thanks... I was thinking of something similar to the flatland racing rfs aluminum guards but this looks like the best of what's available so far. I always thought mecasystems made beautiful skid plates also. I haven't checked on their site since 2010 model Betas came out. The heatwrap is something else I was going to do. I bought the wrap already from NAPA auto parts I think. ..just didn't put it on yet. It's good for protecting your leg and skin but I was thinking about when you are riding through rock gardens/riverbeds and fall over to the right and smash that header part. It's sticking out more than enough. . 4 stroke pipes aren't cheap like 2 stroke pipes. Thanks all for responding!

Yeah Greek is difficult to read if you don't know it. However if you click on the Union Jack (Brit flag) in the top right corner... it puts it all into english.

Which one do you have on your Beta? Is it the Universal Header Guard that also fits the BMW G 450?

I was looking at the regular moose 2 stroke guard that could be cut and molded to the header section....just use the skinnier side and cut and trim.. at least it's another avenue to look at.
