Yeah, I know what you mean dougie. BTW what kind of trail make up do you use to keep the shine down on your face while riding? I mean who wants a shiny face, riding is so sweaty! shoo!

Hey Cheez, that black plastic sure looks nice!!! You must like how the bike LOOKS now.

Doug, if the Flatland is so rugged how come Cheez can makes modifications with a pair of pliers?

I run the WB and it is the same design as the Flatland. It has taken some hits and keeps grinning that UOF "I may be ugly but I'm a bad-ass" grin. I notched out a quarter moon for the oil filter with my dremmel (in all about a 30 second mod).

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My preference is a well protected, hugely functional, ready for anything and I ain't worrried about scratches look. WB and Flatland fit that niche perfectly.

Good point !
Hey CB, I'm going down to the beautiful state of Tennessee first week of March, we'll see who wipes what off their noses bud
All I said about the Flatlands negative is that it;s ugly as hell boys,and it is.
A shovel with brackets on will do the job too, so if looks don't matter to you they don't matter.
They do to me ! Doug

Back when I was a kid we used to make them out of traffic signs did the job though! Never thought to use a shovel ... It would have probably been an improvement.

I have the Works Connection skid plate and think it's great. It's a little costly, but what the hey,
you only live once. See the link to CRF's only review below picture.

Why would any of you pussies need a skid plate?

[bocephus450x]

their scotts doesnt let them turn fast enough and they hit stuff

Some of the trails I ride on are covered with basket ball sized rocks that could really do a number on your frame.
I'm not really happy when we ride on these trails, but everyone in my riding group gets to take a turn picking what trails we ride.....................

[Dust Devil]

Basketball sized rocks??? Man, thats hardcore, remind me to never ride with your group.

[bocephus450x]

basketball size! good lord. Im more of a baseball fan LOL

A friend of mine simlply bolted a stock skid plate from a XR650R on top of the stock 450X and it works great. It is much quieter than the aluminum plates not to mention cheaper. I wish I had thought of that before I shelled out $75 for my skid plate.
