You WILL need them if you’re studded. I’m actually going back and rebuilding my guards. I had an inch of stand-off but the studs are still hitting the cooler.

I made my first ones from old slides and they did not work, just flexed up and the studs rubbed. Used 1by 1 tubing and now no problems.

do you see any problems cutting your lugs when reversing? I had a sharp edge on my guards and they cut the lugs.

yes yes just replaced cooler guards semi worked no leaks but heavy hits from studs

No I have not hit my track on them in reverse. These are further back so they do not hit.

Here's a thread I had for my Attak. I just added the rear cooler and made up protection about 2 months ago. Some ideas here, and then the pics of what I did. You do need them though, as all have said.

So you had to cut of some of the original tubing? How did you fasten the new tubing wich goes one the new cooler?

Il stop by home depot today...what size is that tubing?

I used 1x1 with 1/4” flat bar and old hyfax. I needed a bit more protection as I have 1.45” studs so I have just over 1.5” of protection height.
