The strong aluminum construction of the Turner Performance Products Skid Plate will hold up to more use and abuse than the plastic equivalent. Covers vital areas of the motorcycle such as water pumps, oil filters, engine cases and covers. Has side tabs that come up to protect the frame rails and footpeg mounts. Vents in the wings let air flow through and mud fall out. Holes in the bottom to let you drain your oil without removing the plate. All installation hardware is included.
