Hahahahahha Ye of little faith.
Apparently the front brake cable broke a few months after I sold it to them and they never rode it after that.
It looks just like the day I sold it to them except for some rust on the front rim.
It started third kick and hauled me up the drive way, no worries. [img size=640]http://www.obtrailriders.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/DSC02402.JPG[/img]

I think the quick release gizmo on a bashplate is a gimmick. Bashplates should be tough and able to withstand a “bashing” If you race and may need ultra quick access to the belly of your engine, maybe:dry: but for us trailriders that have kids and a mortgage I think I would prefer something tough and industrial like the whipps or B&B (cant comment on force as I have not seen one)I have seen more than 1 of those plastic KTM plates in the bush moto’s being one of them.The hyde protector I am using on the gasser is very good although can be slow to remove when you have to,I like the way it also protects the expansion chamber and waterpump.

Just my Opinion

Hmmm… the pics in my first post are a KTM with a plastic Hyde bashplate on… needless to say he now has an alloy version! He swore by his too… until the rock flipped up from the front wheel and punched a hole in the ignition cover by flexing the plastic bashplate. Then he just swore AT it! Not trying to be a negative sod but thought you might like to know!

I agree alloy is best,I like to run alloy bashplate with a carbon fibre pipe gaurd.Im in the process of making both for my gasser. The Hyde is a loaner from a mates bike. good info though I will have to get my arse into gear and finish mine off:dry:

PS I consider rider X a trail buddy and the many other guys I have met with my involvement with the forum,as I have said before This is a great way of getting to go on rides with like minded people who share a common interest(no Not pulling the piss out of Honda’s:laugh: )How often do you hear of people selling their bike or giving up the sport because they have no-one to go riding with, keep up the good work guys and bring it onB)

I even tried a trailer with a stainless frame and a alloy body with rivets through rubber gaskets that wears out too as the holes oversize. For plug and play simplicity with no maintanance you cant go past a simple steel trailer that has been galvanised.

I agree 100%

stainless steel and alloy are not up to the task when it comes to trailers.

an 8×5 would be the best option,but it is a wide trailer

I actually made up chanels from folded 3mm plate. I only needed one in the centre for the front as the corners held the bikes front whell securley. the channels at the back were only long enough to stop the rear wheel moving sideways,these were just bolted through the trailer floor,and to be honest they were not really required as the tailgate stopped them from moving about suffieiently with a rope. another option if space is a concern is the “ezytrailer” I think:unsure: it can be stowed verticaly and takes up little space,quite cheap also.

a bike trailer does its intended job beutifully,but basicly that is all it will do. Get a modified boxy and keep your rego costs down and have the added benefit of being multi functionalB) or get a duel cab ute:laugh:
