Protect your throttle mechanism from damage if you drop your bike off-road.  Rugged Roads has designed and manufactured these at the request from a customer who dropped his bike while riding offroad and had a fallen branch punch through the side of his Tenere and strip the throttle cable out of the mechanism. Strange but true!

As this is a structural part of the bike, Rugged Roads has used high strength steel with a durable powdercoated finish, rather than going with a lighter aluminum piece.  To make installation easier, a captive nut is used behind the lower forward mounting point to make installation much easier

This is a direct replacement for the existing engine stay (the lower part is dimensionally the same size and bend as the Yamaha original) with the additional guard for the throttle mechanism added.
