tman427 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Great bike, just wondering about better protection on the skid plate. The stock one is kind of thin and is getting beat up a bit. I would be looking for a thicker plate with some sort of back extension to protect the swing arm linkage. Saw these plates at LewisportUSA. Anyone use these Costa Special parts? Any other thought on skid plates? Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyl Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Mitani is longer than std, possibly longer that cts one but not sure without measuring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tom I have never understood why people make a "stronger" sump guard then drill big holes to weaken it in order to save next to no weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
