Easy fix - change your sig to "too low".

Mine has chewed a section of the plastic inner guard out as well, but on ly on the LHS, and only when under cornering load around RH corners. The plastic on mine sits out a bit because the LPG filler lines run in under it. It's worn a patch about 10cm long and 3 cm wide, and that's it. Once it's worn away the direct contact patch, it won't wear any more - htat's what I'm hoping, anyway.

it only contacts during hard cornering with bumps and on big divits that compress ur suspension pretty bad
it isnt that low really... the guard is level with if not just above the rear tyre

ill investigate over the comming days/weeks and see how it goes and if i can fix it
