I used the devol for some time. UFO makes a plastic one that I tried but liked the devol better.

Better option - do the kx fork swap and then you will more options for disc guard

I did the swap and had a problem with the Acerbis guard not fitting with the KDX caliper. My KX forks are 97's though and have a different axle and clamp design that the newer models. If I new the Devol's would fit I would buy them.

I bought one from The Man # 02-12-402-22
(No picture on his site but he emailed me that it was your classic
disc fork leg all in one cover )

I'll post pics when it's on.

Not really a Guard but a cover.
One Bolt that screws into your axle,My axle was omly threaded about 3/4 of an inch (The Nerve)! so I had to saw the bolt down.
I will take the bike through the automatic car wash this afternoon and see if the cover holds up .

Doesn't look all that bad! I do like the whuite ones a little better though.

I always thought of the fork underhang as a disc guard itself!

I hardly see how its going to protect anything, prolly add more to the problem if anything

I painted it White today with Krylon for plastic...
just for You!
The guards are MSR $ 35.00, they do nothing for a sideways impact
but do filter out twigs and brush that are funneled in when I cross fields.

I have a Devol KDX disc guard. The kit comes with the new spacer and the guard.

It SAVES my brake disc often, check the white sratch done by the rocks!!!
