Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hey. I'm Charlie aka "Weld86". I added a DRZ to my stable and love it. It really is a fine dual sport. I coudn't find a skid plate I liked. So I built my own. Now for the shameless plug. Website Link. I hope it is something you guys will take a look at and give me some feedback. Cheers, Weld86 On the road to Hawthorne, NV
Not in the market for a skid plate (have one). But if you develop that tool tube for the DR650 to fit a DRZ 400S I would be for it.
That is a really nice looking skidplate. I just bought one from Amazon. Takes some skill to fabricate something like that.
Thanks. I'm working on it. It would mean removing the charcoal cannister. That's a good idea. That will be done. Thanks.
That is a very nice skid plate!!!! I already have one I like a lot but it will be getting replaced with yours, probably before Christmas. Have you considered building it into a more rally type of skid plate with either a toolbox or place to store water or both? I am already looking at it and trying to figure out how I would do it after the purchase. Again very nice construction!
nice work! i'd use button nose allen bolts vrs the one you use so it it slides over a log or something and doesn't snag like those.
I do send Buttonhead screws with the skid plates. Mine got mounted with the low profile allen heads as that was what I had in stock. Thanks for the input!
Does this have a drain hole for oil changes? Also does it have clamps that go around the frame (which is a hassle in my opinion)?
Yes, It has a drain hole for oil. No to clamps on the frame. It bolts to the 4 6mm screws that hold the stock center skid plate.
