If you had to pick an aftermarket motorcycle brand to be stranded with on a desert island that for some reason had a motocross track and vast trail system, Moose Racing would be a smart pick. While some companies exist solely in certain segments like gear, tools, or handlebars and controls, Moose lives outside those limitations—the brand makes just about everything an enthusiast could imagine and more! Gear, cleaning products, radiators, gasket kits, cylinders, helmets, loading ramps, skid plates—you name it and they make an affordable version of it. And like the brand’s namesake, Moose products are tough, rugged, and function best in the wild.
Since there’s not room to list everything here, we’ll focus on a Moose Racing’s high-density polyethylene Pro Glide Plate. If you don’t know what high-density polyethylene is, it’s basically a very strong plastic, which makes the 6mm Pro Glide Plate 40 percent lighter than traditional 4mm aluminum glide plates. That’s right, it’s thicker and lighter. It’s resistant to chemicals too, so you won’t have to worry about spilling fuel, oil, or any type of cleaning products on it. And since it’s plastic you won’t ever have to hear that annoying metal-on-metal clanging when your bike vibrates. In other words, your license plate won’t rattle when the bass hits.
Of course, the absolute best part of having a glide plate is the peace of mind that comes with it. No more worrying about jagged rocks puncturing your expensive cases and no more damaging the bottom of your frame when you short those triples. It comes with mounting hardware and instructions, and at $79.95 it’s cheap and easy insurance for your most important possession.
