This skid plate is extremely strong, manufactured from a 5 mm aluminum bottom with 4 mm thick side walls, offering complete protection of the engine block. This unit is built with precision-manufactured mounts that fit directly into the existing frame mount, creating a robust connection that distributes the forces not only to the mounting points but also to the bikes steel frame in case of ground contact. 8 mm strong rubber sliders also help to absorb and distribute impact forces. This unit completely replaces the wimpy stock plate constructed from just 2.5 mm material.
In addition to providing better protection and a sliding surface for impacts, this guard also offers better header and exhaust protection. Cutouts for both oil drain screws mean you don't have to remove it for changes. This plate is also compatible with Honda side stand as well as the SW-Motech Centerstand.
Provide absolute protection for your AT by including Crash Bars and the Skid Plate Extension, all made by the folks at SW Motech.
This unit is NOT compatible if with the optional shift lever on the DCT version.
