    SW-Motech Skidplate

    Fabrication was excellent. I was a little surprised that I needed to disassemble two engine mounting bolts and two foot peg mounting bolts and replace them with hardware supplied. Fit is about as good as you can expect from an accessory device.
    Originally I purchased this plate to protect the exhaust from road debris. Clearance at its closest point to the exhaust pipes is <.050". At assembly I thought this was enough. After a couple hundred miles I inspected the mounting and clearances. I found that there were pebbles and asphalt lodged between the pipe and plate. Upon removal I found significant scarring on the pipe (like it might wear through after many miles) at the location where the pipe/plate were <.050" apart. Riding during the time the plate was mounted I noticed that the ambient sound some times seemed to be reflecting off the plate. When I remounted the plate I added .070" urethane pads and slightly longer 316 stainless fasteners at the plate mounting points. This made it difficult to align. There were no rubber mounts supplied when I got my plate c.a. 2019 (see current description). I don't think the urethane changed the ambient sound reflection much but did provide appreciable clearance at the previous <.050" clearance location.
    When draining the oil, I now remove the plate. I considered putting a slot with rubber plug in the plate to facilitate access to the drain plug but, would still have the residual oil in the plate to clean so, I left as is.
    This plate is also aesthetically pleasing unlike some others I have seen.
    These observations are for information only and not meant to impune the integrity of this fine piece of fine engineering and workmanship. I would buy this plate again.
