I had my bike towed to my house on purpose and told my girl the engine on my bike blew up and that's how I got my 351 kit!

Found a good way to replace stock handguards. Stop on semi-soft sand-put down kickstand-get off bike-turn your back for 30 seconds. Bike is on its side with only smashed guard. Oooops. "might as well get something more durable, honey." No need to lie either!

My bike is always tired in the woods, I just let it rest or use a tree, just can't trust that kick stand

Tucaz.....That gives the green light to some "bark busters". Get any brand with the full aluminum wrap around bar. My Moose bark busters were inexpensive and have taken quite a few hits. You'll have a hard time breaking levers after that. Seems like the stock levers can be had for ~$15
