look up ricochet, best coverage for the price. if price isnt a problem, check bill blue, i just dont like the holes in his but the plate covers more area on the sides.

B & B Offroad. They ship internationally. http://www.bboffroad.com.au/



Frame guards too.



Here's mine, when she was still shiny.

Works connections. They make one specific for the 09 klx250s and has a hole for quick oil changes. It fits perfect and is great.

Sweet! Thanks guys!

The bash plate from B&B is really sharp and has some really nice welds! I'm really impressed by the quality in the welds in all their other products actually

Does any one have an input on Turbo citys skid plate:

I was leaning towards them because of the amount of protection you get with with those engine guards. But it does look heavy and are they really that practical?

Sorry for the double post.

Hey WestOzKLX, does your skidplate give good protection to sides of the bike (Crankcase and such) when or if you've ever dropped your bike on it's side?

She's taken a nap more than once. The plate offers great protection for the cases as well as the frame and hoses. IMHO it's the toughest plate out there. Certainly built the best. It has the standard hole for the oil drain so no need to remove it for an oil change.Fittings are rock solid. Here are a couple of views from other angles. Quality costs right?
