We purchased this as well and I reviewed them on another forum. Here is the copy and paste...

Hmmm. Well initial review is mixed.
First of all, the red anodizing is not all that great. It doesn't match the oil hose at all. Its a much closer match to the fork caps. I would have gone with back, but got overruled.
The radiator guards fit pretty well. The aluminum is thinner than the similar Moose guards that I have on my KTM, but have three crossbars instead of 2. The holes are drilled perfectly. Once again, the red isn't as pretty as in the pictures, but you can't see it anyway. Hopefully the extra edge that OFG is referring to won't be an issue. We'll see!
We haven't fit the skid plate yet, but i'm decently happy with it...other than the off color. We might end up painting or powdercoating it later. The bottom is completely solid except for the oil drain bolt hole. My old 250X skidplate from Utah Cycle Sport was this way and we ended up drilling holes in it because it was a mud shovel. We might end up doing the same thing here. The Husky logo is pretty trick. The edges seem a bit sharp to me. I really wish someone made a plastic skidplate like I have on my KTM (hint, hint OFG
The only other thing I notice is that the weld is not clean on the inside of the skidplate. I don't know if it will affect the strength, as it has spot welds on the inside and a nice clean weld on the outside, but it just seems like a detail that is lacking.
As for the pipe guard....we can't get it to fit and can't fathom how to make it work. I'm going to write the guy and see what he says. I'm assuming they were designed for this bike...I mean, how many left handed pipe dirtbikes are out there??
The brake guard is pretty nice, but the plastic frame guards will have to be trimmed or removed. I think i'd rather have the frame guards myself. On the plus side, its pretty universal as far as I can tell. It fit to my KTM and my 06 Husky. All of which have plastic frame guards I don't want to remove. haha.
And one last note...the shipping was extremely fast, but the packaging was pretty shoddy. All of the items were wrapped in bubble wrap, but there wasn't any other padding to keep them from banging around. Nothing was missing or messed up, though.
So, I guess i'm pretty satisfied overall. I'd definitely go with a natural or black finish if I were making that choice again. We'll see how they work in the long haul.
I'll post some pics after everything is installed...

OK, a little update...
It turns out it was the wrong bracket and the seller was nice to work with and sent the right bracket promptly. It was still probably the hardest part to install, though. Looks good now that its mounted, though, and covers all of the pipe up to the silencer. Hopefully no more burned legs now!
I had mentioned earlier, that the color didn't look good. Well, now that it is all mounted, it actually looks pretty neat. The items look much "redder" when on the bike.
We never did put the brake protector on. All of our bikes already have plastic brake protector/frame guard combos that would have to be cut or removed to fit the piece. I'll probably just sell this part, because it seems pretty universal.
I'll post some pictures of the whole bike now that its together.
