Flatland Skid Plate
By: Rusty Shovel Date: December 22, 2013, 12:49 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Well I got my new skidplate on today. Let's see how long this
one lasts! If anyone can test the integrity and durability of
this stuff I think it's me!
Thanks again to dad2bike for recommending this plate. It's less
than half of what I paid for my Rally Raid plate and is actually
much beefier. It has metal pins welded to the rear instead of
using the factory plastic ones and the front mounting tabs are
much thicker too. With my M2W discount through Dual Sport Armory
it was only $93 shipped to my door.

I have the Flatland Skid plate. On a recent ride in a rocky
section of Death Valley I bashed the rear section at the right
side rear mounting. The plate did not break but it did bend and
the motorcycle's mount did suffer a change in shape. A few more
inches rearward and the brake master would have suffered damage.
I believe there should be protection for the brake master too.

On KTMtwins there's a protection device for $40. Looks worth
gambling on.

I layed my 08E down on a fireroad a few months back and bent the
lever all to shit. luckily the master cylinder didn't get ripped
off. It's on my purchase list.

The skid plate on my bike has an extension which covers the rear
master cylinder. It is just a rectangular piece of aluminum. I
don't know what brand it is because it isn't marked and came
with the bike.
The extension piece looked like it was used in battle because it
was cracked. I took it to a guy down the street that advertised
welding and he welded it back up for $20. So you could probably
add something to the flatland to cover that area relatively
inexpensively if you take it to a local welder.

Interesting to see the different mounting at the rear of the
flat lands skid and the one that is pictured with the master
cylinder guard (not the MS guard, but the main skid)
