Adventure/Touring Bike Skid Plates

Adventure bikes offer plenty of fun that comes with riding on all kinds of roads and terrain. However, if you are not careful enough choosing the road ahead, your motorcycle can bottom out or hit some sharp rock or stone, which might damage its underbody. The radiator, oil pan, water pump, etc. can all suffer considerable damages from this kind of impact. The same applies to touring motorcycles, which do not always ride on a perfectly flat asphalt. Fortunately, the aftermarket can aid you in getting the needed skid plate protecting the bottom.

With a skid plate installed, the load of an impact transmits over a larger area instead of being concentrated on one point. Simple mounting systems make these plates fairly easy to install and remove, with the whole process taking under thirty minutes. They are typically manufactured using robust steel and alloys to withstand the force of the impact. However, impact-resistant plastics are also used, especially when light weight is a priority and the frame should retain its ability to flex. Our store carries a wide array of skid plates for adventure and touring bikes sourced from such brand names as Hamilton, Ricochet Off-Road, Kuryakin, and others.
