BMW F800GS "Murghab" skid plate

 

When BMW first came out with the F650/700/800GS models it was instantaneously a home run. High quality suspension, Rotax-BMW engineered engine, spoked wheels, best-in-class ground clearance etc. With such features it was no surprise that the "little" GS became the ultimate ADV machine alongside its big brother, the 1200GS. 

 

Therefore, Outback Motortek was looking at some serious challanges to match the bike's legendary reputation. 

 

As always, our team has done its best create a crown jewel for any BMW F800GS/GSA and proud to present their final creation.

 

We are extremely proud to come up with such features as the embossed ridges on the bottom of our skid plate that provide excellent strenght where its exposed the most: the bottom. Furthermore, it's important to note that these embossed ridges act as gliders to help the bike slide over hard objects with the least resistance. Protecting your engine from being covered in mud is just as important as providing proper cooling for the engine. Therefore, we designed the "Murghab" skid plate to provide sufficient protection from the harsh effects of off-roading yet keep the engine well-ventilated. Read on to find out about all the features of this product.

 

Features:

 

  • Protects crucial areas of the engine - oil pan, engine case, oil cooler, oil filter and exhaust header! That's a long list of very expensive parts to expose to any sort of damage that will reduce your bikes value in no time.

  • Uniquely designed vent system - Not only unique but very-well thought out. No unnecessary holes were designed on this bash plate. As a result, your engine will less likely to overheat when mud and all sorts of debris from offroading fly at the engine and get stuck between the skid plate and the engine/exhaust header. 

  • True offroad and adventure shape - What does that even mean?? It means we have experience in building top-notch bash plates. We avoid designing skid plates that are shaped like boxes, have sharp edges and corners and will guaranteed to restrict your rides off road. Ours are more, to say, aerodynamic and will glide over and gently bounce off any object on your favorite trails.

  • The only known design with ridges on the bottom of the skid plate - Ridges help the skid plate glide over hard objects with the least resistance. Most importantly though, these embossed ridges will REINFORCE the bottom of this bash plate without adding unnecessary weight.

  • 4mm thick laser cut aluminum - Nothing is ever an overkill on an adventure bike, hence we choose to build our bash plates from this ridiculously tough and thick, yet lightweight material. 

  • Tough mounting hardware - No cutting corners here (either)! Precision laser cut pieces for perfect fitment using 5mm thick metal mounts. These parts absorb a lot of impacts from riding through (off-road) hell, rather than your bikes chassis or engine that are worth thousands of dollars.

  • Stainless Steel Hardware - These quality bolts and nuts will always and forever look nice and shiny. Unless your bike is covered in mud and dust...

  • Powder coated - if combined with sandblasting, it can be a killer combination to protect your product's surface. No frills and tough just like your ADV/Dual-Sport moto.

  • Sandblasted to achieve the best possible adhesion of the coatings - it's an extremely vital part of our manufacturing process. Sandblasted surfaces will withstand most surface scratches and give you a long-lasting product

  • During the entire manufacturing process quality control is in effect - we pre-fit our products three times during manufacturing, so you only have to do it once.

  • 1.8kg/4lbs

Fits most crash bars from other manufacturers. Does NOT fit BMW OEM engine guards.
