I know the the hyde guys fairly well (their factory is on the border of Swaziland, in south africa) and they are selling guards that were modeled on the 09 shape. It seems that gasgas riders love riding too much because no-one is prepared to leave their bike with them for a month so they can model new guards. That is why the pipe/sump combo does not fit properly. I have also found that the original gasgas sump guard bracket works better than the hyde one. to get most of the guards to fit you will need to mod them slightly in terms of mounting holes

I have just fitted a P3 carbon fibre guard on my pipe and if my pipe had npt been dented through the hyde guard i would say it would have fitted like a glove. It also looked v bling for all of an hour until we cartwheeled down some rocks, and although the carbon is pretty scratched i can say that it definitely works!
