Question regarding install of case savers

[Guest]

Purchased a set of engine guards ( Robards) for my 750. They look to be wrong, but I am not sure. Should you have to drill into the frame where the engine mount is for the front the top attachment (two bolt pattern and the single bolt pattern attach below the clutch case to the center bolt. It doesn't right to drill the tubes and install longer bolts to the engine mount (upper) . It seems to me it would weaken the design of the tube.


Need some advise... please Thanks bmac

I have never ever seen case guards that you need to drill the frame for. You're right, it will weaken the frame tube. Don't do it!

They are the wrong one's, send them back.You should be able to mount them right up with the front engine mount at top the frame mount in the middle and the one under the clutch.Check out my pics you might be able to see what I mean.

Case Guards

Thanks Chiphead and tconroy,

Thanks for the quick reply. Apparently they are the wrong ones.The parts guy told me they would fit but I think the parts are older than him, so it was the wrong guess.

I'll keep searching, thanks again, bmac

E-bay usually has them on sale so be patient and keep checking.You might try googling and see what you come up with.Sometimes it's hard to locate but they are out there.

Case savers

Yea, your right. Thats where I brought them from. Emailed them and they said they would fit that perticular model. Well I'll send them back and keep looking.

Once again thanks for the response. I have learned alot from this site with people sharing information. It's just a great source with good people.
