Home made Skid plate

rwl6935 · 05-08-2017, 05:37 PM

I made a home made skid plate for my hawk2 / enforcer. Just made a cardboard template and trace onto the polycarbonate, cut the polycarbonate, drilled the bolt holes, heated the poly with a heat gun to get the curve I wanted and put it together.

Here's some pictures

Yeah that's a really good job

Sweet!

I was tinkering with the idea of using plastic until I got around to fanning a real one, and now I REALLY want one! Plus, we have some orange poly at work just begging to get mounted to my bike!

The poly is just over a 1/4" thick, so I'm sure it can take a beating.

Let me think about it. Maybe I'll make a few to sell.

And figure out a door for the oil drain plug. Great job!

I didn't put a hole for the bottom drain plug on mine since I'd use the side plug on the engine. If I make them I'll put an access hole for the bottom plug on the plate.

What do you think a fair price would be for one with all the hardware? There's about $20 in parts into it, then labor and of course shipping.

... and we can't forget the R & D department ... lol

Thanks!
