ebers17:
Just a quick tip, make a template out of cardboard and some duct tape, you can really expeirment and see what it will look like. seth

hughes:
I hope to make one. It's just an idea in my mind for future mods. Thanks cardboard should work for template.

mikesmith:
I made my own,doesnt protect the water pump.Was going to add KDX style crash bars and never did,but have never had any damage there yet!

KXcam22:
I had my engine out and thought it would be a great pic to show one way  to mount a skid plate.  The clamps are 3/4" aluminum electrical p-clamps, about $0.10 each, light and strong.  Through bolts are 1/4" 316SS carriage type, round and smooth on the outside.  I used a scrap teflon block to bridge the gap at the rear frame tubes so the plate could be flat underneath (where the frame tubes are not) but supported strongly.  Cam.

mikesmith:
Nice job!
