Got the same one but it was only about 30 bucks. Good tip about that front bracket. I'm going to take mine off now!

Great video, thank you for taking the time to film it. You are right there is the RALLY RAID PEOPLE and then the middle of the road guys who just want a little protection without so much extra expense for un-needed extravagance.

Thanks a lot wheelnut, I've been searching a long time for your video , I had the same questions about the front clip and it confirms me that I will not mount it. indeed this plate is just good to protect from small impacts.

Cheers fella. I just got one, only to stop any road crap blasting my metalwork. I too will omit that engine fixing bolt. But, the pan is fine for what I'll be doing... You've gotta spend alot more for alot more protection.. Cheers again.

I just had the same type of bash/skid guard installed., I cannot see properly from the video, on the right side mounting, did you keep the plastic on or take it off.. on my cb 500 x they took the plastic off and it looks a bit odd.

With this skid plate I didn’t need to take the plastic off as it installed over it.

Thanks for the video. I just bought the same skid plate and there were no instructions. I have an unrelated question, I noticed you have Dryspec bags. Have you had any issue with the exhaust fumes harming the bag? Mine melted part of the underside of the bag. I’ve put a adhesive heat shield material on the underside of the bag but have not tested it yet. Thanks

Yes I had the dry spec bags on for a while but found them too small and purchased the Nelson Riggs dry bags instead and had the same problem you had, except it actually melted the plastic case on a tire pump I had in the bag! I bought an aluminum and fibreglass adhesive mat from Amazon (I don’t see it listed anymore unfortunately ) and stuck that to the bottom of the bag exterior and so far, two months later, the interior of the bag gets warm but nothing melts anymore.

Any follow-up reporting? have you bumped it into a rock yet? If so, how did it hold up? I've ordered one, and I'm hopeful it will provide a basic level of protection for my engine sump. Like you said, I'm not riding any knarly off-road, so hopefully it will be OK. Thanks for the video!

I have had this skid plate on my bike now for most of last summer and have been on many gravel roads and several trails, some of which were quite knarly and rocky where my pegs were hitting rocks I was riding over, and so far the plate has stood up well. One aspect of this design that bothers me is that it does not cover the exhaust pipes on the front of the engine and they are getting sandblasted with whatever comes off the front tire. However I knew this may be a possibility when I purchased this plate. As I said in the video, I never expected to take this skid plate over large rocks and rough terrain, and I still feel it isn’t robust enough for all terrain riding, however, with the exception of the lack of pipe protection I mentioned, so far I’m pleased with the plates performance in protecting the engine sump from damage.

I’ve got one more question for you. Is there a trick to removing the exhaust mount bolt. I’ve turned and turned but it never backs out. Thanks.

Not sure about other years but mine is a 2020 and the muffler bolts have a nut welded on the inside of the mount, could yours have a nut on the back of the mount that isn’t welded and turns with the bolt?

@@wheelnut407 thanks for the response. Mine is a 2020 as well. I can feel the welded bolt in the back. It remains still and the bolt turns, in both directions. It never seems to loosen or tighten.

Hi, I’ve had this skidplate on now for 3 years, and while I haven’t abused it, I have been in some pretty rough environments that could have caused oil pan damage if I had not installed this skidplate. In fact I was on a pretty rough trail with a buddy who was riding a Honda nx 750 and he had no skidplate and ended up hitting a rock that caused minor damage to the oilpan, while mine had no damage. It has held up pretty good and given the bike good basic underside protection. As I said in the video, if you are riding over big rocks and deep ruts you may want something more robust but for most of my riding, backroad and some trails it’s been great.
