SW-MOTECH Black Skidplate (Crashbars Mounted) Suzuki DL 1000 (02 – 13) SW-MOTECH Black Skid-plate is constructed of a 4 mm-thick aluminum base plate and 3 mm-thick side plates for heavy-duty, light-weight protection. Where the base plates and side plates overlap, it forms a riveted 7 mm-thick rail for extra rigidity. Base plate includes side protectors that wrap around the engine block to provide both bottom and side protection. Available in bare aluminum or powder-coated black. Installation of the SW-MOTECH Black Skidplate requires previous installation of the SW-MOTECH crashbars, which are sold separately. The SW-MOTECH Black Skid-plate is not compatible with Givi or Hepco-Becker crash-bars. The SW-MOTECH Black Skid-plate can be used without a center- stand, or with the SW-MOTECH, Suzuki or Hepco-Becker center-stand. The skid-plate has a solid bottom without cutouts. Only two screws need to be removed from the plate to allow access behind the skid-plate to change the oil and filter.
