firstly i would like to say thank you in advance for any help.

i've been searching the net the last few days and i saw on sebastian pourcels bike a rather cool bash plate, i have also seen it on some of the honda sx teams bikes.i have a pro carbon one at a moment but its starting to look pretty bad(done 2 seasons). i hope some one might be able to show me the bash plate or put me in the right direction.

the plate i've seen is in 3 parts. the center part seems to have two brackets which hook in the frame and then the plate screws in and it is tightened the bracket tighten and clamp it in place. then there is two side parts (separate pieces) which obviously protect the frame and water cooler and oil filter bits but these look like they screwed into the original places but the frames have been tapped for a second bolt. the whole skid plate looks to be a mat black colour.

if i can find the picture i will post it but so far i haven't been able to.

second thing is, i'm having some cooling issues, i know it probably doesn't help having slightly bent radiators but there is no leaks and there is no blockage. at the moment i the tracks are real bad and the clubs said racing is still go (its mx at the end of the day) but i've noticed during the race my bike is spitting coolant out because my radiators are getting so full of mud its unbelievable.i have tried putting in some foam stuff which is thin and it seems to have reduced it but it still comes in smelling of the coolant.

i have noticed on the sobe/no fear bikes they have an extra set of radiator things which go on the tank shrouds dose anyone know where you can get them? also ive seen people running different radiator thingys to the standard oem ones are they better in creating more airflow or not? ive also noticed that in summer people run these vented front mudguards would i be able to achive similar affects with a drill?

i think that is everything for now. so thanks
