Happy Trails V-Strom Skid Plate DL650 All

The venerable V-Strom 650 is a very capable adventure mount, but one look at the front of the engine and you can see why a quality skid plate is such an important addition. Right out there in the open just waiting to be dented or punctured by a mischievous rock or branch are the oil filter, exhaust and starter with the engine cases not far behind.

Our Happy Trails Products skid plate is designed specifically to fit the V-Strom's. We use adventure proven 3/16 inch aluminum to provide critical protection for all key components at the front, sides, and of course bottom of the motor. All of our HTP skid plates are CNC cut, bent, and hand-welded at our factory in Boise, Idaho, before applying black powder coat. 

Features:

• 3/16" aluminum plate which is 100% welded for maximum strength, not riveted together like some competitors

• Designed to help protect all the critical areas of the oil system, engine, and exhaust

• Strategically placed vent holes for air flow to the oil cooler and lower engine while maintaining strength and protection

• Four mounting points for secure attachment. (2 frame, 2 crash bars)

• Black Hammertone powder coat finish is standard.

•  Skid Plate and center-stand are compatible.

Fitment Note: Our skid plate requires the use of either OEM or our crash bars/engine guards for the front mount points.

Mount Kit Compatibility Note: Select MK1 for Happy Trails Nerf Bars, GIVI TN532 crash guards, and AltRider crash bars. Select MK2 for the DL650XT Adventure Model with OEM engine guards and Select MK3 for SW-Motech engine guards.  **  If your SW Motech crash bar has the center clamp you need the MK-3 mount kit.  If you have the bolt together type, you will need the MK-2 mount kit. **

Included: Skid plate if selected. Hardware kit contains front and rear mount brackets, all necessary nuts and bolts, and installation instructions
