Default SM skid plate installed

Well. Yet another crappy night time pic from me.

Installed a speed merchant skid plate

Removed the vape canister, left the lines zipped to the down tube

Took off the vape bracket that was bolted into motor mount

And...... Installed


I'll get pics at work Tomm during the day time for better clarity. Wish the regulator above it was in a different location or I could move it

I looked at those, too. You ever seen highway pegs attached with the plate? Would like to get one of those in the future

Would that plate actually help jumping curbs? Or more for looks?

I think but don't quote me on this, that the BungKing crash bar kit can be ordered to work with the SM plate.

I have the same skid plate with a set of highway pegs as well. I just layered the brackets on the outside of the plate. It works fine. I'll eventually get the plate powder coated and the brackets will blend in. Either that or order the BK bar, been eyeing that a lot lately.

I dont think the skid would interfere at all with oil changes.

Did an oil change the weekend before so I'm not sure

But if it was in the way it would take 2 minutes to undo the 4 fastening bolts
