Hey guys I have one of these plastic bash plates / sump guards fitted to my o4 450. They are awsome and much lighter than an alu one , check them out at http://www.hydedevelopments.co.za/

Looks nice.Just mite make your motor run hotter,A couple of holes up high should let air in to cool the cases.

Fwiw there's a review of the KTM version here:

Looks like a good idea well executed. I too would be interested to see how they hold up first...

Plastic plates have been used for quite a few years in the atv industry,they are tough and light and a little less expensive than aluminum.The negitives are that there is a certain amount of flex which requires more clearance between the plate and part to be protected.Also in extreme cold weather they can crack(around mounting holes) with impact, after they are a few seasons old...nsman
