Default Skid Plates
What are you all running for skid plates? I like the DK Customs plate but they are discontinuing it and no longer have it in black.

Are you dirt bike scrambling you bike?

I guess when a company stops supplying something it is because no-one is buying the item.

The thing I scrape is the jiffy stand spring mounting point when going over sleeping policemen.

I mounted this on mine. Repainted it with a Duplicolor metallic silver wheel paint.

I guess I'm the odd-ball - I retro fitted a skid plate from Triump...
It goes with the 'buckshot' theme of the bike.
Here's a pic.

My thoughts also! I mean, the roads around here are plenty rough, but a skid plate is not yet necessary! I suppose it does make a statement, or a conversation piece. If you ride a Pan American, well then hell yes!

We wouldn't be able to make any mods on our bikes if we had to justify every single one to strangers on the internet!

In preference to a skid plate or stone guard I would quite like a longer front mudguard or extension for my Superlow.
