yes worth it. four bolts. two replace the existing bolts for kickstand/peg cross bar. other two go into existing holes on engine cases. totally protects bottomside of the fiddy. I cased once on the sidewalk w/o and shit a brick. now with the plate on could care less going over logs and stuff :toothless

The skid plate is well worth the price, the engine is completely exposed. Ive already scraped the bottom of my engine on a curb. Im getting the Fast50 plate because the tabs are not welded. The other brands that have welded tabs(except BBR)are finding cracks at the welds due to vibration. I would stick with BBR or Fast50's

www.motoworldracing.com has the BBR plate on sale right now:thumbup

i was talking with a guy that had that same problem, he put a rubber washer in and it helped.

stillart, I want to check yours out too:p

Im interested in the Applied setup.

those guys kinda poopoo'd the applied setup vs bbr. i dunno. that bbr looks really sweet though.

I like the BBR/Fast50s/twoBros setups the best but im wondering if the Applied setup w/ lower bars would be more comfortable.

stillart and RB929rr are your bars comfortable or possibly too tall?

jonb

well i am 6'2 so there is no too tall for me, mine with the rear shock as well feels really nice, not at all uncomfortable.

:thumbup Thanks. I guess you being 6'2"(damn your friggin tall dude)you cant ever have enough room on that little thing.

I was leaning towards MX style bars which may be slightly lower than the BMX style but after trying some wheelies tonight and still banging my knees on the reloc'd stock bars think BMX style would be the best all around. most leverage at least? waiting on the tall seat foam mod too.
