I'm thinking about making something that prevents the front brake hose on my 950SE being snapped off 65 miles from home.....  Don't ask what's prompting me.
I had the handguards not done up quite tight enough and the master cylinder bolts not quite slack enough. Came off on a wet chalk trail in Surrey, guard mount rotated & snapped the brake hose banjo. The rear brake operating rod also disconnected itself (fixed the rear in 30 seconds), front hose requires the spending of cash. I could have some Yorkshire blood in me, short of arm & deep of pocket......
I can see the point of disc guards if riding over rocks etc but not on a bike just used for trailriding.
Nice DRZ-E, not seen yellow sidepanels before, only white? Are they standard E fitment?
