bash plate

[r1_rider]

i was wondering what people's opinions on bash plates/skid plates are and whether it is worth getting one considering they cost a fair bit.

 

[bigal]

are u gonna be goin rough?? if not dont worry

 

[r1_rider]

i'm goin to b goin over loose stones nd stuff occaisionally, but other than that, not too rough, about halfway between rough and easy

no mater what terain ur going on its best to have one, it stops stones puting holes and dings in ur exaust

 

[r1_rider]

ok, i saw one on ebay for $40 plus $20 shipping, do u reckon that's a rip off? it looks like it will most likely fit on my bike's motor

 

[crazzy #1]

$40 saves u punching a hole through your case thats if your worried about it i have heard a few big rocks hit the motor on our bikes even the missus has heard it aswell so it doesnt matter wether u ride like a sissy or flat out

 

[r1_rider]

i dont think a thumpstar will be going through ruts unles it is carried :wink:

 

[No-Fear]

my thumpstar can get through them with the 12" on rear :wink:
10" would struggle.

 

[gazza2003au]

obvously if your getting stuck in ruts your not picking your lines properly :lol:

 

[jackson]

ruts?, wat are ruts?

 

[gazza2003au]

in the bush its cause from alot of people using the same lines also 4wd's make alot of ruts on sloppy days after there has been alot of rain and the water needs to run somewhere as the water runs down hills it follows the same path washing away the soil leaving ruts once its started they only get bigger and deeper here in sydney "menai" there are some ruts from rain and 4wd's that can swollow your mini bike

 

[jackson]
