Skid Plate: B&B or B and B?

Tried to find an active link for B and B Moto but seems like they are out of business?

So was looking at this: http://bboffroad.com.au/shop/online-products/bash-plates/bash-plate-yamaha-wr250r.html

Anyone have any experience with the B&B Bash Plate from Australia?

Thanks!

Their bash plates are very thick and will survive a lot of damage. They should still be in business.

Which company, the US outfit or Australian outfit?

I've got the Aussie plate. I might be interested in selling it as my R2 is on pure street duty. If interested shoot me a PM. Just give me a day to think it thru.

If you want a new one, they are sweet.

I use and prefer the Flatlands Skid plate.
I ride in a very rocky terrain and protect my case without too much weight gain. Just saying mate. :)

+1 on the Flatlands; fits like a glove. I put some self-stick rubber between the frame and the plate.

The Aussie company should still be in business. I have not dealt with the US one.

Weight of the skid plate is a non-issue for me.  It sits so low that I could put a 15 pound skid plate on and I doubt that I could tell the difference.

Just ordered up a ricochet.  Didn't like the way the flatland's wings didn't have a gusset onto the lower portion of the plate.  Had one of those wing looking things before on a 450 and it bent right into the water pump cover and cracked it.  Granted it was a pretty good crash but still.

Also was not too thrilled when I saw in pics that the flatland skidder didn't cover the rear of the engine cases, that was the real kicker.

My B&B covers the rear engine case:





Pretty good coverage for the water pump housing too:





I don't notice any extra noise(echo) from the engine as others have complained about with the other skid plates being used. YMMV
