Woodcraft Shark Guards are cheap insurance against potential serious injury. In many crashes your leg has a tendency to dangle near the rear sprocket. The Shark Guard's role is to help deflect your foot out of harm's way.
Shark Guards are required by top racing organizations around the world including, but not limited to, the AMA Pro Racing series and the World Superbike Series. No matter if this item is required by your local club or not, we feel it's a smart item to install.
Other guards ask you to drill and tap holes into your stock swingarm. The average swingarm today is only 4-6mm thick aluminum which can leave you with mounting holes that easily strip out. Only Woodcraft supplies two rivet nut inserts and an installation tool with every kit!
