79405401-2292-418D-B59E-0D862F37CD7D.jpeg?VersionId=KQ3CtOqj.h BbXICfVidI made mine for $3. I bought black gutter guard at lowes. Used Tinsnips to cut the guard and just used a heated razor to cut the plate out. For first time effort it wasn't horrible. Using a cycra plate had some different challenges and how the ktm brake line runs down the back. I think I saw some of these companies were charging like $150 or something ridiculous, not including the plate! I did paint the rivets on the numbers white since this picture.

They definitely look sick and bring back a whole lot of nostalgia. Looking at the new bikes vs old bikes though the older bikes had the plates block the radiators so it actually prob had a performance gain but the new bikes front plates are nowhere near the radiators. The gas gas has the bottom sides of the plate completely removed. Its pretty cool to see how they engineered the problem away over the years. 
 

On the new bikes a vented back of the front fender though definitely would have an impact. Im surprised we dont see more of those in mx.

This is how we did ours years ago and a Hot Glue gun helps on the back.  Looks great especially for first one.

Not only do vented plates look cool, they were good enough for a pair of GOATS

With modern liquid cooled four strokes a vented plate is just a silly fashion accessory. 

With that said, they are so cool, and I think I need one.   Laughing

Why does Kenny run one ?  Less wind resistance and cooler fuel ?  Seems like they'd hold a lot more mud than a smooth one coated with SC1, I guess just don't get roosted and it won't be a problem Laughing.
