Dave - I got the Adventure Spec one a few weeks back - a lot of
coverage. My second choice was the flatlands one - looks good.

Yea, I chose AS due to the extra master cylinder protection. I
also got their rear top rack, and the side engine covers....all
in black.
Definitely not the cheapest options... but really seem well
made, and I have only heard good reviews on their stuff

dave - only thing I would do differently is NOT get the black
side case guard or skid. scratches off then looks crappy.

I already bought them all, and have them waiting to put on. I
have a very short time window to get all my stuff installed and
bike broken in by July 15th. So you have already seen they
scratch that easy ? I had a black one from HappyTrails on my
KLR, never seemed to really show that bad..... oh well...
Guess I will carry an extra wide black Sharpie with me for the
aesthetic touch ups ;) so when you ride along and you hear
rocks hitting your skid...do you say to yourself.... "
ouch..that'll leave a mark... " ;)

Sorry if we hijacked this thread.....
Dave - see my thread below. this was only after 100-150 miles
(if that much) of trails in WV - and not many rocky sections.

Also sorry if the thread was hijacked. Figured we are
discussing skid plates..... otherwise all we would do is look
at the original picture...go " ooooh ahhhhh" and that would
be that ;)

The scratches just give you street cred. 8)
I've had people remark on the scratches on my handguards and
pings on my bashplate; it's a conversation starter.
An unscathed bashplate is a shameful thing.
