My Brushguard - From a Trooper!

It's the 'tried & true' mentality. Most people want bolt on stuff that they know will fit. If you can find a cheaper alternative & do the Beta Testing for everybody, I'm sure it would be an easy sell to convince them to go that route.

BTW, Tom, I hope you didn't take any offense to the subject...
I literally don't know what is better, available, or more cost effective.

I've got nothin but props for you and your endeavors to further the VX "industry".

I have always liked the Brush Guard look on the VX...

...hence I made/modified the original ML 320 one for my ride..
..... ( that Tone copied!)

I think if you section yours in the middle and remove about 4-6 inches...
.....then weld it back together it will look much better..and not too wide.

The "extra" damage issue can be a concern for sure...with the "wings" liable to
fold back and impact front fenders...however with judicial use of bracing
from mid/top center through to radiator support this problem is eased( not cured!)

I stopped using mine for off roading..However in my home town, which is Bike
& skateboard central....it served its purpose numerous times "brushing"off wayward
kids on boards & bikes

Not at all. Sorry if I sounded that way.

Trust me, I'm not about salesmanship. If there's anything available elsewhere, I don't get Welder Guy involved. After all, we quit modifying diff brackets since there's another source & we even handed off the seat sliders to another member.
