Looks nice but how much use is it? It looks very small...
I'm currently running with the Mudhugger Front race (front and back) on my Levo which, while not pretty, does seem more functional...

Enduro guards keep a lot of spray out of your eyes but in properly muddy conditions that's about it.
RRP proguard long is probably the best coverage of any front mtb suspension fork mounted guard (or Mudhugger with their add on guard extenders). The longer the guard, the uglier*. Last night was a pretty mud splashy ride and I rode my Capra with the short Rockguardz on. it kept ud/spray out my eyes for the whole ride but my face and top was noticably way muddier than with the RRP on my E-bike.
*E-bikes are ugly already so I don't mind running it on there.
@Rob Hancill I'm sure if you speak to Craig or one of the other RRP guys they'd do you custom EMTBforum graphics. They already do a variety of decal kits for their range of guards.
These type of guards although small are great. Not only do they keep the bulk of the dirt thrown up from the front wheel out of your face they also serve the more important purpose of keeping substantial amounts of dirt away from the fork seals. All my mountain bikes are fitted with them.
I'm the opposite. (I know, I know... controversial and opinionated)
I've always run all my Enduro guard style guards upside down to hide the logos. I can't stand a bike covered in advertising. One brand name and one model name decal each side and preferably stealth or white is enough for an entire bike as far as I'm concerned thanks.
I think rob's done a brilliant job with the EMTBforums branding, logos and aesthetics and the site and his Youtube chanel both look super slick and professional for it but there's no way I'd ever wear any of it or cover my bike in it. I'd wear a stealth version of the mtb top though, Black top black logos.

Yes, have been speaking with Craig and have a price for the customised ones. Just want to see if there would be interest in them before I commit to a big order.

I've tried the Enduro style mud guards that you are using, but found that for my use they fail miserably, as they collect mud and debris. I have had several rides where I have either had to use a stick to try to clean around the tyre after things have ground to a halt, and in extreme cases, had to cut te cable ties and just do away with the mudguard altogether.
The RRP Neoguard does everything that I require from a mudguard, which is to keep spray and mud from my face, and also not become a trap for mud and debris. Both jobs it performs brilliantly. It is also a handy one just to keep stashed away in my back pack.
On the KTM Fogo 271 with it's inverted front forks I don't run a mudguard at all, as I have yet to have any spray or mud flick up.

This may come as a shock but I agree with a Gary.I'm the opposite. (I know, I know... controversial and opinionated)
