What would be nice is a modular alloy combo, with the two components able to be removed independently but still adequately strong to take a pipe hit. The pipe guard section could be a more open cage type design. This would make R&R for cleaning and maintanence much eaiser. I have no problem with the plastic as it has exceeded my expectations, but R&R adds too much time to service even with refined mounts I made.

Kelly from Motosportz was working on a skid/pipe combo for his little WR125. Not sure what ever happen to that one but I'm sure it was made all out of aluminium.
If I had my wish I would want P3 to come up with a CF skid/pipe guard combo that would be the ticket.

I'll pass on the CF option. If you put force on that across bolt holes in a shear situation, like if the pipe guard took a hit, it is likey to crack unless mounting bushings were designed and laid in with the cloth properly. No skid plates I've seen were like this though, just plain holes. The pipe guards are good for dent protection but are strong enough to bend the header in a hit. On my buddys KTM the CF guard split in half after the pipe bent back and hit the frame. The P3 stuff is good quality just not the best material for off road skid plates in rock country from what I've seen, JMO.
