Speedbleeders & Carbon fiber skid plate

[lime away]

Has anyone tried a set of speedbleeders and if so, what do you think. I'm also trying to find a carbon fiber skid plate for my '99 200. Does anyone know if and where there is one available?

Carbon Fiber on the bottom? Why????? No one will ever see it! :)

What's a speedbleeder? (It's been 15 years and I don't recall hearing about them back then)

I have speedbleeders on my forks and they are awesome. I keep about 4-5 KX-KDX bikes at my house at all times (with 2 kids) and I was always replacing fork seals (even though I loosened the screws and bled of the air after each ride).

What I have found with speedbleeders is that the forks actually load up with air pressure just sitting in the carport. Each day or so, I simply walk by the bikes and release the air instantly, without any tools. I haven't replaced any fork seals since. Regarding skid plates, I would save the money and buy aluminum, although the carbon fiber is nice. You can't go wrong with either one.
