    Bash Plate Or Not, 85r

    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.

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

    You can't ride anything around here without one.

    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.
