Tougher than any aluminum guard and you slip over the rocks and stumps instead of gouging and sticking on an aluminum plate+ best protection for your pipe hands down.. Hyde fork and disc guard, Hyde swingarm and rear disc guard. Hyde frame protectors. = one well protected 220!

got any pics of your bike with all this armor?

I only have the skid plate with intgral pipe guard on my bike. I have an 89 KDX 200 and Hyde doesn't make anything for it. I bought the skid plate/pipe guard for a later model and modified it to work on my bike. The thing is tough as nails. I have been beating on it for about a year on narly rocky single track here in SoCal and the thing seems indestructable. I have zero dents in my pipe.
I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.

i just checked out their stuff. that skid plate/pipe guard looks sweet, stuff's kinda pricey but if it lasts.......

I believe this plate will last many years of abuse.[/img]

Thanks for the pics!

Dude, may I just say..

Holy ****. Beautiful E bike! Have you got that put up in the members rides section? I don't remember seeing it.

Klammer......where did you find that skid plate at? And the frame guards? How did you source this stuff?

Hi Everyone,

I just picked up a nice 1996 KDX 200 for a spare / loaner bike. Since this is not my main ride, I am looking to spend as little as possible.

Anyone know of a cheap plastic or aluminum skid plate that just goes up the center and will not hold mud, like so many of the skid plates out there?

Thanks!

It's called a frame slider/frame guard. I believe that RMATV sells them, about $70. You might be able to find them on E-Bay also.
Um RM sells this one http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/t/115 ... kid-Plates it's $62 and helps protect the water pump. Not a bad idea on a loaner bike.
Motorcycle super store sells the frame slider http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/13 ... skid-plate but it's more $.

Thanks, I like this Works Connection one as it appears that it would accumulate very little mud:



But it is pricey for what it is.

Whereas the Ricochet from RM is priced fairly, it appears that it would hold a lot of mud.



Does anyone know of a plastic "slide" plate that fits the KDX? Thanks.

Got one sitting in my garage. Haven't been able to source a new one. I have one of the first one pictured on my E and the 2nd on my H, I'd say they hold about the same amount of gunk. It seems to me the one on the H (ricochet) is much easier to clean out in the end.
