Plated KDX (pros & cons)

Post by Goat »

I lucked out (I thought) on plated KDX, with intention of some DNR logging roads and family-friendly single track fun. Evidently, I should have asked the bike what it had in mind.
Like a pony that hates the saddle, it tries to rip the plate off every time I ride it. I think it feels embarrassed at the MX track.
Between wheelie loop outs and rear fender pivot turns (neither could possibly be my fault) I think I may need to have let the bike have its way, and relegate the rear light kit and plate to temp add on if it ever sees any light duty.
