haydenkd from kawasakiversys.com said on November 10 2010:

“It is a very well made unit and I like the two tone [black and silver color]. It makes the transition from black to silver as it leaves the motor and surrounds the muffler. Kind of blends in.

Installation does require that you remove the original plastic lowers and their mounting brackets.

An earlier post [in kawasakiversys.com] indicated that you used the original brackets to mount the new skid plate. Not so. SW-MOTECH uses a 3/16″ or so plate support that bolts to the motor frame in front and the through-bolt in back. They are the same connection points that are used for the crash bars. Very strong with good rubber grommets to minimize vibes.

Oil changes: I use a filter that has a nut on the end (K&N) so I think you could probably change the filter with the skid plate on the bike. But I don’t think I will. I’d just undo 6 of the 8 skid plate attachment bolts and let it swivel down on the other 2 providing access to the filter.

Pricey? Yeah. Quality and fit. Top notch.”
