Yup, I've seen my share of folks who wanted the latest graphics to adorn their trusty steed, but didn't have the bucks for a skid plate...until after they purchased a new case, water pump, clutch cover, etc.  That $50 skid plate sounded pretty cheap after seeing the bill for the repair parts, plus a new skid plate.

Thanks for the photos

Rick,
  I'd have to say the same for rad guards too.   Always protect the expensive/important parts first, thats why we wear helmets for riding (and cups for hockey!)  My local dealer has a rad with a stick impaled all the way through it hanging beside the rad guards. Fairly convincing. Cam.
