It is an 08 and despite having a number of war wounds it came up well the pic. I haven’t tested the E Line CF guard yet as I broke 2 fingers shortly after I put it on (as well as the new exhaust system). I did howver run a Pro Line (I think) CF guard on the stock system and it did it job. The Pro Line doesn’t wrap around quite as far as the E Line – still have it if someone wants buy it just PM me – the stock pipe has a number of dessert spoon size dings on the areas that were not cover by the guard but thats about it. The KTM also has pretty good ground clearence. I ran a Hyde for about 300 k when the bike was new but didn’t like it. I know the CF guard isn’t going to stop a pipe getting crushed if the pipe has a decent front impact, but they do deflect the roost and protect from low speed impact, and IMO also look the best out of the bunch. They are a good balance between “show and go”?
Cheers
