Eric Hall 4,526 January 16, 2015 Report Share this review Touratech apparently has since re-designed this guard but I am reviewing their previous generation product. The throttle potentiometer on the GS/GSA is particularly vulnerable to being broken off on any left side tipover. I was told when that thing breaks, your day of riding is over, so I picked one up. I actually did see a GS rider who had broken his at the GS Trophy and sure enough, he was done. My guard has certainly performed its job flawlessly but unfortunately, there was a metal burr sticking up from the right edge that completely destroyed the lower left leg of both my BMW Rallye 3 suit as well as my KLiM Dakar pants! It was only when I purchased a new KLiM Overland suit and I didn't want to have the same thing happen, I was trying to affix a rubber pad there when I looked closer with my glasses on and saw that burr! I was like "no wonder my left pant legs were all torn up!" Poor quality control. I'm glad to see they've re-designed it and it seems they've added a third plastic column to provide a lower attachment point that only strengthens the guard. I just hope they inspect their parts closer for burrs! Link to review Share on other sites More sharing options...
