Bash Plate Or Not, 85r

[atcmatt]

Whats your opinion on running the bash plate on the stock 250R swingarm? Im not sure whether to take it off or leave it on when i redo my frame and swinger. What does everyone else do on their bikes? Any pictures with and without.

Thanks.

I do not see to many 250r with them on other than people looking for a totaly stock look.

If you value your chain, sprocket and brake disk... I'd run one.

You can't ride anything around here without one.

chris i think he was referign ot the one under the motor on the frame. and i have thme on all 3 of my r;s and 2 or the 3 350x's i own.

I won't ride in the woods without my swingarm skid plate. Like Chris said, the sprockets and chain ain't cheap but what really hurts is when a rock smashes that stuff, and sends the chain into the engine case and cracks it open. That'll cost some bucks!

+1 Swing arm skid plate. Tighten the f %$# on those bolts. Lost one and dangled another.

Hmmm Yeah Brappp I was talking about the one on the swingarm. Not the motor. definately wouldnt run the bike without that! Ill just see what it looks like without it then decide. Thanks
