PMAUST Posted November 21, 2001 Cool, I'll order the shark fin. what kind of skid plate are you using. I went down to the shop today and they had aluminum and plastic(composit). I got the composit because it was lighter than the aluminum. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks, Paul.

RetSenior Posted November 21, 2001 Paul they are all good from what I hear, just different. Like all parts it's all a preference thing. I liked the E-LiNE carbon fiber skid plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MONTY Posted November 26, 2001 Paul that was a good ride at stonyford on t/d your new KTM worked good,I,AM thinking, monty JR said it looked good when he put it together, nice workmanship and ever thing fit like it was made for the bike not a after thought.and it worked good in the rain and snow, that e-botton was nice when it stalled on that uphill in the tree roots and snow.Good ride paul. monty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PMAUST Posted November 26, 2001 Monty, go for it man. You won't be dissappointed. I feel it just needs a little lower gearing like we have on our WRs and a stablizer and it will be totally sweet. I couldn't believe how much lighter it felt than the WR. Wow! I'll call you this week. Later, Paul [ November 25, 2001: Message edited by: PMAUST ] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
