The galv guards are probably the easiest the purchase,,.... and still look OK.

If using aluminium, consider mounting using some rubber stoppers / spacers to limit the effect of vibration. Aluminium can be a b#tch on guards for stress and vibration fractures.

depends wether you or your mates tread on the guards, I find the cheap galv guards take a heap more of that abuse.

Yeah what Blaze said and they are not a step!

By the way who and where is your supplyer? I have been trying to source the slim galv ones up here with no luck, unless I order and pay the extra freight ::) been waiting over 2 weeks for them to arrive.

cheers fnq
