I have read a lot of posts and I know that I want to get engine guards as soon as I purchase my bike. The thing is I have read so many different points of view I am confused. One other thing, does anyone have them in grey I can only find black ones. I know I can paint them or have them powder coated but that is an additional expense? Another question I have is a skid plate necessary if you drive only on roads that are gravel, I have seen mixed feelings on that so would like to know by people that actually have kept it strictly on roads have found them useful? One more thing, I would like to know what other items should I buy to put on the bike as soon as I get it. I know I want to get hand guards but know if this is a must for the bike protection or if this is just for my own want. I want to protect the bike from as much damage as possible to my bike if I drop it. I have not dropped a bike since I started riding but seeing this is my first new bike, am I being to cautious and paranoid?
