Any good pics of the skid plate? About to order a scorpion skid but would like to see this one first.

Did you flunk math or something?

My Ricochet plate is .160" Clear Anodized Aluminum, the BB is 1/8" (or .125) Aircraft Aluminum. Seems to me the USC (Utah Sport Cycle, AKA Ricochet Offroad Armor) plate is thicker by quite a bit.

While I *like* the design of the BB plate, my Ricochet plate covers as much as the BB, mine is stronger, and cost less than half the price. Still left wondering why the BB is so expensive...

Why are you being mean I was not trying to insult you.

I did not compare your Ricochet plate with BB's. I was comparing it to my husbands "CRD plate". The BB plate covered a larger area and there for has more aluminum. Which is probably why it cost more.

People can make up their own mind what covers what:
BB's:



Ricochet:

My apologies - I was trying to be "funny". Sorry it was taken the wrong way. I was not intentionally trying to be mean to you...

I am not very good with the website thing, and I haven't got pictures yet of the new pipe. I have been working 6 days a week, and I haven't enough time to do everything sometimes. I apologize for the delay. I'm going over to Bill's today to start the website work. Thanks for the kind words on our aluminum pieces...they take ALOT of time to make, given our other commitments. I am extending the coverage on the upper edge of both sides also on this next batch, something Bill and I have discussed. Making new tooling is always a thing you want to consider thoroughly, because that just adds more time to doing things.
