Default Bashplate

I just received my Richochet bashplate from UtahCycles.com. Looks great, covers great and amazingly it fit perfect with everything lining up properly. How nice to buy something that doesn't need tweaking to fit.

It takes serious shots and will save you hundreds if not thousands, I love mine. I need to remember to take pics of the shots mine has taken. I actually got stock on it on a boulder, had to pick it up off the monster rock. My ***** hit the gas tank so hard when my bike came to a stop, hopefully I can still reproduce lol.

Thats what I have fitted to my '09 KLX250s. I had to import mine from the states as I couldnt get one in the UK direct. The only bad thing I found with it is that when on or off road riding in puddles or wet roads, that it guides the water/mud perfectly from the front wheel onto your legs lol..

Apart from that, its a great piece of kit & yeah, it makes a change buying something that fits perfectly that doesnt need to be adjusted to fit.

It also helps you glide across big **** puddles, no sinking with good momentum!

So that would be something like wake boarding.

They are just metric bolts. Why not run down to Lowe's, HomeDepot or some hardware store and pick up some that match.

Congrats Oldtimer on the plate. What Big-Ed commented on the mud and water kinda makes sense as well. Like your bike lift, prolly the same one I have as well.

The lifts are pretty handy aren't they? Sure beats trying to bend my old body down to work on things.
