5ive T CV guards

[Cupton79]

I’m wanting everyone’s opinions on the best CV guards...

I originally got a set of full force ones.. ???.. they snapped off after my first 2 runs with em..

I suppose I could make a set just not sure what’s the best material to use

I made some alloy ones they lasted quite well

Nice!

How’d you attach em to the arms? Screws like the full force?

Nice! Guess I’ll fab me up a set ?

Was super easy 40 mins tops the right angle is quite nice as well helps keep them on nicely with cable ties

I’ve even gotten myself a cable tie gun.. it makes installation a snap!

You set the tightness you want and it cinches it down tight and cuts it off flush all in one motion...

Maybe over kill.... but it was only 10 bucks lol

Made guards out of plexiglass for my 5ive T.

I use the front and rear Grafil ones on my B. A little pricey but haven't had any problems yet.

I’m waiting on the ones from AliExpress, I’ll let u know how they work I don’t want to drill into my a arms so I chose those.

 

[DougStar]

I did not drill my arms

 

[Whoduh]

I didnt drill into mine either...guards are held in place using existing screw holes...

 

[Basher5iveT420]

I’ve tried the Full force plastic guards, Grafil plastic guards and the JS performance alloy guards.
These have all mounted to EXISTING holes. Never had to drill any holes.

I like the Grafil guards because they offer the most coverage, but I’ve already broken 2 front guards and while bashing in loose gravel completely destroyed the rears.
Which is a lil crazy because these are a little pricey ??‍

So far the JS guards on the rear are holding up strong but they are tiny compared to the grafils.

I would love some mud guards that have the shape of the Grafil but in a stronger material like alloy ???

That’s how I mounted mine..
