warning! dg baja swingarm skid plate for the ds650
do not buy the dg baja swingarm skid plate. i paid 117 for the plate it didnt fit and its totaled. i thought hey its got to be better than plastic right? nope. i installed the plate after much pain as where the plate bolts up there is 3/8 of an inch on side of space so i rigged it up with some spacers on the bolts and adjusted it all the way down just to find that the chain rubs. so i adjusted it up and grinded off 2 1/2 inches of the plate. so after one real ride(50 miles)over all terain from sand to mud to rocks that i have done many times with the stock plates it is trashed, dented to hell and some of it left on the trail somewhere. i usually have to drive fairly evasive but there was no path to take with this plate i hit every rock. im going to put the stock plastic stuff back on after this weekend.
rmatvmc was kind enough to send me a 30 buck certificate but it dont make it right. and apperantly they dont even sell it any more. lmao
