after a bit of thinking, iv'e decided that my 2004 TTR250 is in need of a bash plate. yes i could go and buy one, but as a boilermaker, i can do it myself, and at $100+ i dont think its a really fair deal!
anyway, would anyone have a template or something that could help me out with making a template?
cheers, Tyler

For the price that you pay delivered from B&B Offroad (now with improved mounting brackets) you can't go wrong though. I payed $180.00 for mine but I did buy it with frame protectors and luggage rack. I must say, I was impressed with the quality and looks of it.
Of course, if you want to make your own, that is up to you.
Hope that helps?

Sorry but my cardboard template that i made up is gone. Making it did involve alot of lying on the floor trying to line things up. I noticed B&B bashplates are now $156 delivered. not sure if they have the new brackets that Jarrar mentions.
thanks a lot Jarrah, those pics give me a good idea of what sort of shape i'm aiming for!
it is a thought about buying one Markvan, however im quite capable of making one, as you did so i think i'll give it a crack. what a bugga you dont have your template still! i hoist my bikes up with the chain block to work on them, so its a little easier to see underneath that way.
thanks a lot fellas

Thanks mate.
Haha, yes indeed it would bu much more comfortable! i hoisted the bike up with the chain block so it was at eye level, and removed the rear guard and seat so the chains could be connected to the frame. Well spotted though!
