Skid Plates

Rack · Jul 27, 2010

Travace this is the Skid Plate that I just added to my 2010 KTM 450 EXC. I had the same skid plate on my 2008 KTM 450 EXC. Flatland Racing is where I got them from

to all my local dealers/shops trying to rape me for 150 for what looks like pretty much the same thing.

for me the stock KTM plastic works. It is quik release, no vibration sound, cheap used, broke one and 2nd is still in good shape.

I know I've said it before, but Hyde makes a great skid plate.

Here's the link for your bike.

I run a Works Performance skid on the 450 and a GYTR water pump guard. So far it has worked well.

Oh that link just cost me money. But saved me a pile too!

Hyde is good stuff, if you can get it. MANY stories about making payment and then not getting the part for months, no emails, no returned phone calls, etc. Some get them the next week after the order and more dont. They are made in SA or AZ or something and the importer is not too reliable.

Hey I read an article that was talking about making sure the front of the skid plates had holes in them for added air and cooling. What are your thoughts on this?

Flatland is definitely the way to go.

I have their skid plate and rad guards together as as set. Last time I checked, if you buy both at the same time there was a discount.

Yeah, the head and case could use as much air for cooling as they can get..."refer to the pic on the 1st post" on this thread...it mounts up a little semi-blocking the head...."

If you look at the Yamaha plates by them there is not holes.
