Got some fork bushings and a skidplate!

I bought some Factory Metals Nylon fork bushings and a Factory Metals skidplate a few days ago. It came today and I brought the fiddy in the house to put the stuff on. The new bushings work like theyre supposed to, which is really well. No play whatsoever. The skidplate works really good, but it sounds kinda wierd. With the engine running it makes that metallic noise. It's actually starting to grow on me, I like the sound now. Everything went on great and the stuff works well. Did some offroading today and I heard tons of sticks and rocks and stuff hitting the skidplate. My street tires also did awesome.

My swamp was frozen over today, it's about 120ft long, 5-10ft wide and about 5ft deep. I was havin a blast flyin around on the ice. First crash pissed me off though. LOL! 3rd gear pinned, the rear just swung out and thing went flyin out from under me. Took me almost 5 mins to slide my way over to it. I'm gonna go over to my bud's house and ride fiddys with him, I'll get some pics then.

Alright, I wasn't sure if it's supposed to do that or not.

potential is a decent person
ceecee i have the sano +1's w/ nylon bushings and they're worth every penny, and pretty easy to install. completely eliminated the 'slop' and play in the front end.
