Hyde Racing- husky parts- protection/armor

http://www.hyderacing.com/store/dirtbike/husqvarna.htm

anyone run any of Hyde racing stuff- I have seen their skid plates before and have had luck with "plastic type" skids before-

I see they have Handguards now- they look nice

Yup...me & Ramsey both have the Hyde plate on our TE310's. The only thing I may do is drill some drain holes in it.

From http://rickramsey.net/TE310mods.htm

We're working our way up in the stocking levels, I am SO HAPPY I finally found these guys as it's hard to beat a slick/smooth ABS plastic belly pan around these parts. Great product for both the 4 and 2 strokes. The 2 Stroke pipes actually protect the frame and lower section of the head pipe which is really sweet.

I agree, just paid for mine,

anyone know if the swingarm guards fit the 610?

i like the under foot peg portion of the frame coverage,,,,mine is completly hammered after a full year of trail hack,, and looking at the Hyde I think it would be alot better at covering that area. Also as stated the plastic has low friction when sliding over rocks. PS I have a 06-07 CRD redrilled to fit the 08 (09) chassis it is very nice but is a little bit on the bikini side as far as frame coverage goes

Yea- I am getting an 09, so I am concidering what armor to get- skid, rad guards (ofg, motosports, FORCE, Bulletproof), hand guards( hyde, Zeta, Cyrca, or cheap rocky mountain Dflex...)

I have had suprising luck with plastic skids- (ktm) - the hyde is the only one I have seen available for the husky, I see that the 09s come with plastic case guards on the side too? havent' heard any opinioins on that change yet...

2 weeks has gone by, and i`ve sent about 4 emails to confirm they got my paypal payment & shipping info, no replies at all. It gives an auto response for reciept of email, but no reply to my questions

A bit poor really, i just hope it`s because they are flat out & haven`t had time for positive reasons

I was going to call them today...do you want me to ask on your behalf?

If you are looking for cool carbon fiber guards, look at P3 products. Their website has a lot of guards for Huskys.

recieved a shipping confirmation from USPS today, but still no acknowledgement from the company - i don`t know, maybe us Aussies are just used to premier customer service with a smile & a thanks Mate

thanks

I've never been more pleased with a skid plate; I've got two bikes now, both with Hyde protection...really like the 'low friction' factor! For rock riding, nothing else seems to be as durable (tried metal and CF products). I found them to be easily available from the USA dist, at http://www.hyderacing.com/contact.htm

I hope nobody has a negative experience and post it here, otherwise Coffee might get threatened with legal action from Hyde. That is why "Hyde" is a forbidden word on ktmtalk and all the reviews are gone. I won't buy anything from this company.

so far so good.

maybe let bygones be bygones

I've got one on order myself. We'll see how long it take for me to get it.

Me neither.

I met up with someone on the trail that had the skinny on that whole deal, the owner of ***talk attempted to take over distribution, and he perpetuated the growing pains of Hyde to his advantage, he broke a few laws to say the least.

It was that sites request for the whole forbidden word and deletions deal.

It's been a great product for me.

This is what Pat from ktmtalk said about the whole deal. I don't know if it is the whole story but I think it is the same story I have heard a few other times. I don't know what the original complaints were since they were all deleted.

There's alot more positive feed back than bad, and even that was a few years ago.

You'd think people would move on after awhile, it was one part # that was back ordered for for a few months two years ago for gods sake.

It's been a great product for me, and I see alot of top level racers using them along Kearny, the BMW team and most othe Baja and enduro cross guys.
