I already searched about replacement skidplates but those threads are all ready getting quite aged... I was reading that there wasn't a plate available that covered the little butterfly wings below the water pump, well mine had covered the entire bottom. This leads me to think that it might have been a custom plate? I bought the bike with all modifications already and I've been discovering more and more every day (I noticed Works Connection Rad supports the other day )I went back out to look for it but I rode a good 45 miles and with snow on the ground it was hopeless.
Anyone have any luck find a good skidplate? I heard good things about the Works Connection and if I cant find mine when I go out riding next I'll order a new one up. This is a bad time to have lost that thing, I've got a race coming up in 2 weeks and on the flyer it strongly recommends a skidplate. I'm guessing there's going be alot of rocks...
That does look decent. Decent enough that if I cant find mine the upcoming days I just might express ship one out. It's a reasonable price as well. Thanks for showing me that.
I really dont know how I lost it. I sat there for awhile after I got home wondering just how that would come off. I'm thinking an improper log jump on my part sheared off the bolts or something, maybe they vibrated out? I dunno. Whatever happened, happened. The fact still remains, I need a new skid plate now.

The hole isnt a problem. I spend half my day in a machining/welding shop so drilling that hole would take me a few minutes. I think I'll go ahead and order one from steathy, they do look so damn sexy. :D
I ended up getting the Utah Sports cycle skidplate from Rocky Mountain ATV. I wanted to make sure that I got in in time for a race I had today, it came in and its damn nice.
Thank god I had that plate, AzRick knows what I'm talking about. Within the first few miles of the first test section there is this small boulder/rock field with some more or less larger rock ledges that one must ride over. I picked a bad line over one ledge and slammed that skidplate right into a point sticking off a ledge. The plate took the beating and had I not had it, my case might not still be together! It was an awesome race though, tons of fun.
