Search Results for ‘skid plate’

Hi, I am looking to buy a skid plate for my 2013 DL650. I am specifically looking for skid plates that mount to crash bars instead of the engine casing. I am in the process of acquiring Hepco and Becker crash bars so the skid plate will need to be compatible with it.

Picked up an 08 DL650A on Sunday and had it on a track Monday to make friends with it. The seat, while custom and comfortable was lowered, but the geometry was not great for my knees and hips, so picked up and OEM seat from another rider and will be trying that out. Two things I need or want...

Would you please share your recommendations for both a skid plate and engine guards that work together from my 2009 DL650? My riding goal is exploring 2-track, with a potential of Trans America Trail. The Westpoint, TN sections are less than an hour from my house. Givi's site shows they still...

I just today purchased a new 2021 vstrom 650xt adventure. It's gorgeous and I'm thrilled to be a new owner! Previously I had a GS and then a Super Tenere but they were both huge and heavy and this bike will much more easily allow me to follow through on my plan to explore non-interstate and...

Hi Guys - I'm having trouble finding a metal skid plate (aluminum or steel) for my VStrom. I've contacted Enduro Guardian via the FB page but not sure if they still make these. Seems like there are plenty for the 650's but not any for the 1000. Does anyone have a recommendation (with a link...

Hi guys, I have, what I assume is a oem Suzuki Crash bars and a oem skid plate on my bike... I'm not too happy with the protection and coverage that the oem crash bars are providing. They barely protect any plastics on anything that is not a soft grass laydown. So I was starting to wonder if I...

2018 V-Strom 1000XT Curious if anyone's done this before. I don't like how low the SW-Motech Crash Bars are... and the Givi Crash Bars seem to be at least at a 'decent' height. BUT the Givi Skid Plate is HORRIBLE imo because of how much variance there can be on the skid plate. As in, I've seen...

Hello Folks New wee-strom owner from Vancouver, BC. Traded in the bonnie T100 and picked up a 2018 wee 650XT in March - NO regrets!! My specific ask is will the T-rex skid plate work in tandem with kappa/givi crash bars - model KN3101. I cant seem to find much info online. I know some skid...

Hello, I just purchased a 2017 650 xt and am getting ready to purchase some protection for the bike. I live in Utah and plan on riding a mix of fire roads and pavement and possibly some desert terrain. I am torn between going with Outback Motortek and Happy Trails. Can anyone speak from...

I'm about to buy my first V-Strom and have been looking for the necessary accessories to mod the bike a bit more dirt friendly - logging roads etc. nothing extreme. So the very first thing on my list for the Standard model would be skid plate. I found this image of a branded metallic skid plate...

I want to get a skid plate so I can go off-road and minimise the risk of smashing things on the bottom of my bike. And it looks like most skid plates assume you have crash bars first, which are probably a good idea. I've done lots of searching here, and I'm checking out lots of retailers and...

Yes, their is a New Skid plate design out now for the DL1000 2014 & newer. Available in both steel and aluminum. Both powder coated black. So strong, you can jack the bike off the ground using the skid pate. Check it out at Enduroguardian.com It's impressive. There is also a Radiator guard...

I need a center stand and skid/bash plate for my very new 2014 1000 Adventure. No centerstand came with it and the polastic mud guard below is pretty crappy. I was looking at either the OEM stand or SWMotoTech stand. Suggestions? I also want a bash plate that is not real hard to change the...

I recently switched from a 2000 DR650SE to a 2014 DL650. What a difference! I've really been enjoying this bike and am planning my first long distance trip. I didnt get the adventure model and am worried about the oil filter and exhaust getting damaged during any real adventure rides. I came...

About to purchase a 2012 (orange) Wee Strom. 8,000 miles, super clean with only two mods on it (that I know of) Hepco and Becker crash bars and MRA windscreen. (Check out my albums for pics) The crash bars are in good shape, except for a weld that just seemed to have snapped on the bike. Anyone...

Searched the forums but didn't find a thread... Installed Yann's Skid Plate, Highway Pegs, & Radiator guard on the 2012 650. Took it out for a ride today & noticed the airflow has been redirected upward towards my legs more since the airflow is not going under the bike as much. Seems like a...

So I like my PWD crash bar/skid plate system, and while installing it, I noticed that it said it doesn't work with aftermarket exhaust systems. After installing my new Leo Vince pipes, I remembered that little disclaimer :green_lol: So now I'm in the search of a solid (steel, not...

An adventure ride tested my abilities and subsequently my GIVI crash bars. They lasted three years of minor abuse, but when it came to rocky terrain they bent into the body work. I replaced them with the AltRider skid plate and crash bars on my 2007 DL650. Here is a summary of the full review...
