Looks weird as the exhaust is down low and tucked in. What they do at 90 mph is not pleasant, I went with the fj hard bags and the bikes balance was still affected negatively.
This is one motorcycle that needs upgraded suspension immediately.
I still dig mine
Oil drain plug says no.
I think there's a few skid plates out there for it.

It's no Tenere, but with a skid, some 705's, barkbusters, etc - I think it'd do as well as any of the other pseudo-ADV bikes. I haven't had a chance to get mine off pavement much yet, but I don't anticipate having any issues when I do.

Nice. Looks a lot beefier than the original one. Two questions:
1. Can you lift the bike with an ATV lift under this skid plate without damaging it?
2. Does it in anyway interfere with oil changes (you have the '15 oil pan, right)?
