What parts for Hawk 250 are wanted?

So I'm new to the bike game. But between having a Mazda Rx7 and Miata I made many parts for, like front splitters and skid plates.
I want to make a skid plate for my hawk. And I've seen how street/enduro bikes have frame protection "bash bars". Would anyone be interested in things like this or hawk specific luggage racks?
I have the means to metal work/weld/ and use of a paint booth to make everything one off using my bike as the template.

So throw out what you all may want and i may be able to figure something out.
It's just a thought.

I have a feeling that skid plates would be a sure bet. I know I wouldn't mind having one.

A 400cc motor.

something that would protect the rear brake plunger that sticks out below the left side of the frame. even perhaps something to relocate it.

Center kick stand, skid plate and rear rack. Like sport rider, reconfigure the rear brake lever so its not hanging so low. I've been looking at that one and coming up with a few ideas. Patent pending

+1 on a proper rear rack that could mount panniers

Skid plate

An aluminum skid plate would be nice.

Rusty;

I have a 2015 Suzuki DR650 that I kitted out to ride the TransAmerican Trail. I have a really good skid plate concept and racks on it. I can send you over some pictures if you want to take a look and get some ideas on the parts you're talking about whipping up. I can even take some pictures of my Hawk and DR side-by-side so you can make some comparisons. PM me if you think that might help.

Any Updates?

Hey Rusty,

Have you made any progress on making parts for the Hawk?

Have a great day!
