Product Description
The “Missing Belt Guard” is the one part that could save you hundreds of dollars in repairs that a warranty won’t cover. Now you can have complete peace of mind that your belt is protected.
This special “Missing Belt Guard” attaches onto the left swing arm and prevents stones or other debris from getting onto the drive belt and then lodging in the rear sprocket. Made of black Polycarbonate to be light, strong and durable.
Why did we not use aluminum or steel? Probably the same reason the factory didn't attach a belt guard on the inside. The tire is so close to the belt that it requires a very thin material and using metal would most likely damage the tire or belt if anything were to get lodged. The "Missing Belt Guard" will not blow out your tire or damage the belt and in fact if something does get lodged, it will tear off by design. Also, can you just imagine the pinging sound it would make every time a little stone hits metal? The tire and belt will always win the battle.
This is an easy install with complete instructions and additional hardware.

Cheap insurance
It's not uncommon for the rear to kick up small stones from the roadway, damaging the expensive belt and possibly the sprocket. Can-Am provided an outside belt guard, but not an inside one, where it seems to me the belt is most vulnerable. This ingenious lightweight device is nicely designed to fit between belt and rear tire to greatly reduce the potential for stones to become lodged in the belt. Easy to install and light weight. Great instructions. Highly recommend.

Quality product
Just installed on my 2020 RTL, looks like it will help a lot, easy to install. I only have 2000 km on it and no gravel and got a rock in the belt so thanks Spyderpops for a product that BRP should have standard on there bikes.

Missing Belt Guard
Installed without any major difficulty. Would seem to be a wise precaution given the expense of a damaged belt. Some might say this is a lot to pay for a flimsy piece of plastic, but from an engineering perspective, I think it is well suited to the task! To install, it is best to get the Spyder up on a lift, makes the job go easier. I also recommend peeling back a starter section of liner and taping in place. I did this in two opposing directions, each starting in the middle, and then peeled back each half once the guard was aligned. This 3M double-sided tape is what is used on auto body molding and it really sticks, so you want to be sure the alignment is absolutely correct before adhering; once it is stuck it is there to stay! Based on 3Ms installation procedures, they also advise applying a full 10 seconds of pressure across the taped area for complete adhesion. And definately use the adhesion promoter! One more install tip. The outer belt guard is held on by two (T-30) screws with self-locking 10mm nuts. These two nuts "float" and must be held in place to loosen the screws; the nuts are hard to get to. The two J-nuts provided with the SPY149 are meant to replace these two nuts, making reassembly much easier. I do think the install instuctions could be improved, but I am a technical writer and even say that about my own documents!

MISSING BELT GUARDtm” FOR 2014 AND UP RT WITH 1330 CC ENGINE
Followed instructions but had to custom widen the slots a little to clear frame weld beads. Take your time and get it centered correctly because it is a tight fit and does stick in place once installed. I figure this is cheap insurance for protecting belt.

I think 45.00 was pretty steep for plastic. But that being said it was easy to install and should work well !

Added protection
Easy install on my 2018 RT Ltd., just followed the instructions. Having to travel down a stretch of dirt road to get to the house, I hope this will keep debris from getting in my belt. Good service at an affordable price. Thanks, Spyderpops.
