I have a branded steel galvy one, had it nearly 4 years and its fine.  I would buy h/d steering bars instead tho'.

One thing to be aware of with steering guards is the drag link which sticks down behind the axle. The common wedge type steering guards which goes in front of the axle don't provide any protection for this.

True........Tis why I bought a Southdown type axle guard from Extremeteam.
If theres a harder way to do it I`ll find it!!
