nklr: klr skid/bash plate

[JSherlockHolmes@aol.com]

Another seed of wisdom is requested from the members of this elite group of low level terrain pilots. Which skid/bash plate provides the largest amount of protection for the KLR? I have an aluminum unit, but it appears to be much smaller that many I have seen on other KLR's while surfing the pics and stuff. I am primarily interested in a large coverage unit that mounts to the frame, not to the stock bolt tabs. I want to get as much water pump and magneto cover protection as possible. Thanks for the help. Jim Sherlock

Rex , I did that route in Aug 95 , and had to cross snow fields also ,the creek crossing were 3 to 4 feet deep ! lucky I was on a DR350 with knobbies. Had to help a guy out of the creek , dumped his KLX 300 , he was standing up to his crotch in water, with no bike in sight when we rode up, boy was he glad to see us ! How about the water fall by the mill , was the best photo I took of the trip ! anyway you made me remember a GREAT ride ,thanks . Gary Dodson A13
