Alright im wanting to know the lowest profile swinger skid for XC racing. I need the most protection with the lowest profile.

On a side note I also need to know the best foam air filter to use and where is a good place to get pre-printed numbers for a 450R?

Thanks

i would probably go with the tougher one not neccacerily the lowest profile...but my dg on my z400 is made out of steal very tough and very low profile...i bends to a certain extent the doesn;t bend anymore.

foam filter...imo there isn;t a best one it all depends on what u prefer...and do you mean like # plate numbers or like graphix

prm .190 or .250 - air filters i would go with a uni or twin air and for #'s check out decal works....their site shows all bikes but they do cut plates for quads.
