There is another skid plate on the way to your dealer sometime in the near future for every 2012 300 we just sent out. I don't know of anyone building frame guards or a softer seat yet. Even though the '12 seat is hard, it doesn't hurt my behind as much as the '11 seat because it is narrower at the top. Enduro Engineering is borrowing a bike from Scott Rocher in the next week or so and they will prolly build a softer seat. I have found that the pipe guard from E Line will fit the '12 pipe. Rad guards will fit too with a longer bolt or removing the spacer between the radiator and frame.
Have you ridden the bike yet?

Thanks Clay. Ordered the link skid and skid plate from Scorpion. Was waiting to see if someone came out with some carbon or plastic guards for the frame. Getting some radiator guards made by a local guy at our races and they are like a BPD guard but a little thicker.

Put the Flexx bars, core exp in yesterday, doing the jetting, rear tire and footpeg and 50T stealth swap tonight. Riding on Sunday! Can't wait to give it a try. Feel like a kid in a candy store.

Putting the hammerhead shifter, motosportz damper, TM chain guide on when they come in. Not much left to add.

Just installed the scorpion Rad guard and grill and also the Bashplate.
Rad guards are excellent and really easy to fit.
Bashplate was also relatively easy to fit although I am worried about the bar that the screws screw up to scratchuing the frame.
I thought about keeping the original bashplate on the bike , cutting two holes for the internal screws at the front and then bolting the scorpion on underneath.
That will give me great frame protection as well as better protection from mud etc.
All in all great products and great pricing.....Thanks Steve( and Werner from OZ).
Also installed the Biketique handguards.Another great product thats fits well and gives enough clearance to everything.
Cheers Mark

I'm hoping someone releases guards for the side of the frame where the black stickers are. Plastic or carbon fiber. If not I'm thinking about using herculiner or something.

I got mine from another forum member.

I also got an extra +5 hammerhead tip and I'm going to get it fitted to the oem lever for a backup.
