    Loved my uptite skid plate, has many gouges and dents to back the 10,xxx miles the 510 has. Finally broke the oil guard off again though, can't weld it up again.Great stuff from George. Wanted something different this time and got recieved the Hyde. Not as much protection over the oil filter,we'll see if it outperforms.

    I ended up with the Hyde. I've got to say, that thing is FANTASTIC. It looks good, it's quiet, and should be indestructible.

    Me too. I've got an Uptite on my WR 300 and when it rings like a bell, I'm overjoyed to know that my pipe or cases didn't take the hit! I'll take the ringing any day. :thumbsup:

    the closed Cell foam in between the skid plate and engine make it quiet and us mud guys like it because it keeps 15 pounds of mud from accumulating. It will ruin the airflow to the engine cases but i for one have never noticed an increase for a bike to overheat because of this.
