Thanks Matt for the voice of reason. 
I still hate that Kawa 250 plate.  |
anyone i know of that used a Carbon Fiber skid plate destroyed it. and if they had a carbon fiber pipe guard they didn't know thier pipe was smashed. i saw alot of this in the service dept. we would tear down a top end for repair, remove the exhuast and pipe guard, low and behold the pipes squashed. carbon fiber will flex in, dent the pipe, and the return to it's normal shape. you'll know your pipes dented with an aluminum guard. carbon fiber does look nice.....i don't trust it for protection.
