skid plate

I found a piece of plate aluminum in my other shed the other day. after some measuring I came up with this. it only has one bend. if I had a longer press brake and a larger piece of aluminum I would have made it fold over the side rail. I used 1/4 20 rivet nuts to mount it. it works out well and realy adds a lot of protection. now I will re do my flaps to keep some of the mud out of there.

Looks good. Its amazing how much mud etc; is kept out with doing a simple mod like this.

Nice Job! I wish I had a better shop to do stuff like that.

last year at the pioneer ride during the group ride it felt like the brakes were dragging. no power. turns out I had about 800 pounds of mud built up under Neath the bike. I then drove though every deep puddle I could find until the power came back. since then we go though puddle on rainy days.
