Over a long season of riding, fine silt and vibrations can cause the plastic to slowly scour the coating off your frame rails. Taking two minutes to isolate those surfaces preserves your frame finish and eliminates potential micro-noises out on the trail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Pairings:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/ktm-4-stroke-dirt-bikes-performance-parts-accessories-moto-house-mx\"\u003eKTM 4-Stroke Performance Parts \u0026amp; Upgrades\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/mx-off-road-motorcycle-tools\"\u003eEssential Off-Road Motorcycle Tools\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/premium-motorcycle-chemicals-brake-fluid-bike-wash-coolant-chain-lubes\"\u003ePremium Motorcycle Maintenance Chemicals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Moto-House MX, we carry the best brands in motocross and off-road performance.
