danger_nurse Posted July 15, 2016 My Ride Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Got one! Not that there's such a thing as an overbuild skidplate... but this thing is uber-solid. Nice to not have the kickstand mounted on the important stuff too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted July 15, 2016 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Yeah I couldn't think of any other plate for my 990. Their new Africa Twin one is cool too and has a neat outline of the African continent cut into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
