Yes.... as a precaution... quite like the idea of a polished SS guard..Possibly, but it would be easy to weld in a small triangulated gusset to add strength if required.

Sounds like a good a good idea, thicker stainless sounds appealing, although maybe it'll be more prone to cracking ?
Well done mate, i can see that took a lot of effort... Hope it's tougher than the original.. It'll be nice to see it on the bike.My original one cracked twice before I re-inforced it with a thicker piece of plate . This is a work in progress on a stainless one made out of 2mm thick sheet, It might look simple but I have spent many garage hours knocking seven bells out of this to get it in shape.
Once it's finished I will see how long it lasts compared to the original one. Speaking of the dreaded vibes last week I just happened to look underneath the engine and saw the side stand cut out switch swinging in the breeze, the retaining bolt had worked loose and it was just waiting for me to get fully togged up , retract the side stand , pull in the clutch and prod the starter button and................. ..............bugger all happening as I sweated and cursed and got detogged again.
I emailed them 3 weeks ago, no response at all.Just had same problem few days ago here in Aus. I've emailed Norton... will let you know of any response. Perhaps someone out there could produce a better product for us...?
Unfortunately true ! How do they (Norton) let this go on for so long ??I emailed them 3 weeks ago, no response at all.
https://imageshack.com/i/pmHrJ9Cij Well this is 2mm stainless so lets see how long before it gets vibrated to death, will keep you informed..Sounds like a good a good idea, thicker stainless sounds appealing, although maybe it'll be more prone to cracking ?
I can see the photo and looks good. If it were me , I would avoid over tight , use rubber washers , don't tighten down , use loctite so screws stay put.https://imageshack.com/i/pmHrJ9Cij Well this is 2mm stainless so lets see how long before it gets vibrated to death, will keep you informed..
