Skid Plate

The first upgrade for my WR250R was the addition of a skid plate.  I knew that rocks and other debris would begin to chip away at the paint on the lower frame if it wasn't protected.

After much research I decided to go with the Flatland Racing skid plate.  The plastic Moose Racing version was lighter and better looking but it cost $50 more.  I also felt that the aluminum plate would never break.  Install it and forget it.

I read complaints about the noise created by the aluminum plates but since the bike is new to me I couldn't notice any difference.  Just to be on the safe side I applied some Plasti-Dip as recommended by some forum guys to stop rattles.  I guess it worked.
