I'm very pleased with the Hyde plate. The Ricochet did it's job, but died doing it due to the way it's mounted.
I've got the Hyde on my SMS, it's kept my engine covers out of the dirt and gravel a few times and keeps rocks off of the front of the motor. But I'm not boulder-hopping with it... :P I did have to trim a little notch in it to clear the shifter.
how can you order anything from that uptite site... images dont load, the entire thing is just a freaking mess...
You have to call George there Telephone - (714) 540-2920 or order from a vendor that carries his stuff. I believe the usual suspects do.. motoxotica, halls, bills, etc.. Ive aways dealt directly with him cause I dont know anyone else that will spend an hour on the phone with you talking you through a (scary for you) repair.
being a complete newb, the usual suspects remain unknown actors in my investigation :P thanks for the line up
Am still waiting for my Hyde plate to turn up. Has been over a month already, think its just cleared customs so should be with me soon. Make sure if you haven't heard anything from them you send an email and chase it up. Only got the dispatch note after sending a couple of emails. Will comment on how it is but from other peoples comments it should be a good product.
I got mine within 5 days When you mount it up, check your shifter arm clearance. You may have to notch the plate slightly to keep it from interfering.
Finally got mine. Looks like it was worth the wait, build quality is good. Seems strong and light, was a little dubious going for a plastic skid plate but reading posts on here have put me at ease. Shall have to get it fitted at the weekend and test it out
