And if you think a plastic chain gaurd will protect you from a broken chain, I have some ocean front property in AZ for sale cheap.

...that's cause your chain hasn't flown off yet?

I have a plastic chain gurard on the GPz and I agree it won't do spit if the chain launches itself...I mean if I launch the chain...into a tree!

I took mine off and everything is ok.But you might want to look at the rear peg set up and see if there is any danger of your passanger getting a pantleg or something caught in the chain.Mine has custom rearsets.
