Has anyone seen any guards for the upper fork tubes?

I run a MSR skid plate with water pump cover and ignition cover protection. This thing is extra thick. Kxcam22, I think made some upper fork guards from PVC. Maybe he will log in and give us some more info.

how do you retard the timing for woods riding?do you use a timing light what is the process and were do you want the timing?

Your stator plate should have timing marks located on it and on the crank case. Do you have a service manual for you bike?? Remove your ignition cover and look at the stator plate. It should have maybe one mark on it and three on the crank case. The center mark is standard timing and the upper mark is advance timing while the lower mark is re-tarding the timing, this is how I adjust the timing on my 500, check your service manaul if you have.

I made my skid plate and my fork guards. The fork guards are made from PVC pipe from a plumbing shop. You could use ABS or any other plastic, the deciding factor was finding pipe with an ID that was slightly smaller than the OD of the upper fork tubes so that they snap on tightly. I cut about 1" wide slots to make it easier to snap them on. Mine are painted black with Krylon plastic spray paint. The paint has stayed on extrememly well (2 years now). A very successful mod. Cam.
PS there are some pics in my gallery.

Many companies produce carbon fiber guards for the upper forks, they are light, durable and look trick.

I got mine from E-Line. Fork and pipe protection. I tested the pipe guard, not by choice, and it did it's job very well.
