webbmeister25d - Did you find an engine guard that worked? I bought the Baron engine guards and there wasn't enough room for the brake pedal, even with adjustments. I called Baron and actually spoke to the guy the designed that engine guard for the GZ 250. I had emailed him photos of the brake pedal and the engine guard. He confirmed it didn't fit, but didn't know why not. They had sold many others without any problems.

When I had the pedal adjusted to its maximum height, it would have been awkward to use. I would have had to lift my entire leg up to use it. I wouldn't have been able to pivot my foot.

Baron was nice enough to allow the on-line retailer to return the engine guard, so the retailer agreed to accept a return from me. But, I haven't found a replacement. I thought the best option was one made in Spain, but there isn't an American distributor.
