April 21, 20206 yr My apologies for posting in the wrong sub-forum but this crowd typically will know most about the BSA unit single and it's application in trials. I am building up a B25 motor/modded B44 frame with old Bultaco suspension and wheels. I am ready to make my skid and have a few questions based on zero trials but other technical knowledge. Thinking 5mm/3/16 plate which ill heat treat to T6 after welding. Do I need to extend beyond the frame rails? I weld aluminum daily and was uythinking keeping the skid narrow and patching the covers when/if they get damaged. Will I need a spare in my tool box? How much case contact are you making? i would like to add I removed the studs and plan to use socket heads for slightly more clearance Thanks much Untitled by barnstormerbikes, on Flickr Edited April 22, 20206 yr by Ftwelder Added info

April 22, 20206 yr I'd rather loose a mark by grounding a wide sump guard, than not finish a trial having damaged my ignition / gears. It really depends on what sort of terrain your competing in.

It really depends on what sort of terrain your competing in. That makes perfect sense. It's rocky/muddy here with no established trials lines/low trials skill level so i should start with "plenty". Thanks again gents! Untitled by barnstormerbikes, on Flickr Edited April 24, 20206 yr by Ftwelder add image
