Please note that they are not compatible with PRC Excel systems. Q: Does this product include the mounting hardware? A: No, the hardware is sold separately. You will need to source the appropriate bolts to secure the guard to your sprocket setup. Q: Why should I use a gear guard on my racing kart?

This helps maintain smooth power delivery, reduces wear, and prevents potential mechanical failures during a race. Q: How do I know if the 8.0" size is right for my kart? A: The 8.0" diameter is intended for larger sprocket profiles. If you are running a smaller gear setup, you may want to consider a smaller guard to ensure proper fitment and clearance.
