so.. I had very high expectations for those..but..
Hyde skid plate is nice and light, but I was expecting more coverage from it.. I would suggest that Hyde racing posts better pictures on the website.
so, overall I just do not think it's $90 better than stock. that, combined with the fact that mounting holes did not line up and I had to take pipe off to figure out the problem and drill holes in proper spot, I would not buy it again. comparing with EE guard, Hyde is not in the same ball park. and not even including washers for $90? unforgivable.

I had no expectations for $40 piece.. but nevertheless..why not include some mounting hardware?? fit also had to be adjusted with Utility knife.. overall it fits OK after 30 min with a knife, not sure how much protection it will deliver. will see.
