i was the first to try one of those from Hyde. the importer sent me a free one. i remember the customer i gave it to complaining the hardware was diffcult at best to use and not of very good quality. he went back to the CRD. i did let them know. it looks like it offered great protection.

Finally saw the pipe guard, it is beyond ugly, but looks more functional than my exploded and chunked up Carbon one. I'm not in it for the beauty just the function, and that's a good thing with this Igor of a pipe guard.

skidplate
I don't know if this helps anyone, but the skidplate from an 04 to 06 KTM 300 will fit an MC 250 with slight mods and possibly the DE(EC) models. You narrow the rear hook to the frame and two bolts hold the bracket in front. It's 3/16" aluminum and seems pretty tough.
I got stuck with KTM parts after a dealer in Houston sold me a 300xcw as new that his buddy had bought, taken home and seized the cylinder the first 5 minutes. They honed it and stuck a piston in it and sold as new until I figured it out. Now I'm trying to mod KTM parts to fit a GG, and it's been working well. |

The skid plate in the picture without the pipe guard looks different than the one in the picture with the pipe guard. Is the combo unit different than buying the separate skid plate and pipe guard?

Yes the two are different guards. I sold a combo to a customer and he had some difficulty installing it but loves the protection and he says it looks better on th ebike than when it was off and in his hands.

So how do they perform? Anyone got some good photos? How well does the pipe guard work. I really like the fact that the skid plate and pipe guard integrate. I am always thinking of that little pocket when going over logs and such, would be sweet if it were some slippery plastic. Someone please post a report with better pics than are on the HYDE site.
