    got mine from Ernie almost two years ago and though my most recent getoff sheared the connectors the plate did its job perfectly and is now reattached. Great plates!

    Hey Nimrod, Glad to hear the skidplates are doing the job. I've received quite a few e-mails with pictures over the years showing the skidplates at work. Cool to see them in real world experience. Take care.

    Also, I have a satin back powdercoat skidplate set going out to Richard in California in the morning. It's o the way. Thanks. Ernie

    Hey Dave, Your skidplate set is on the way to Texas. I suppose you're one of those lucky guys that gets to ride year round. They salt the hell out of the roads up here and it's really hard on the bikes. Thanks and enjoy the holidays. Ernie

    Adventure skidplate set arrive today, on the porch when I got home.

    10 minutes in the shop, they are now installed, and I am ready to ride in the AM. Fit and finish are great.

    Thanks for the shipping, wrapping, and beautiful finish, sort of a shame they will be always on the bottom and in the dirt.

    38 degrees tonight, and sunny and 65 tomorrow.

    Hey Ernie, Just wanted to post a photo or two of the black skid plate you made for me. With the front fender extension on there is no problem for clearance as you can see in the photos. Thanks again for the outstanding workmanship.:thumb

    Thanks for posting the great pictures guys. I've been busy in the shop making more skidplates. We've had a lot of snow here the past few days so I might as well keep busy. Special thanks to a few inmates that will be receiving skidplates under the tree. I won't mention any names to ruin the holiday suprise. Sure beats socks and underwear. Happy holidays. Ernie

    Just wanted to thank Trevin for his R1200GS skidplate set purchase. He came over to my place this morning and picked it up in person. Always more fun to meet in person. Enjoy the skidplates. Ernie

    I sent off two more skidplates this morning. I guess I'm not the only one that spends time working on my bikes during the winter. Thanks. Ernie
