Hepco & Becker Skid plates are a top notch protection option for ADV bikes. Hepco designs their skid plates with 3-4 mm thick aluminum bent and welded together to surround the bottom of the engine casing for optimal protection. Skid plates will protect everything from the engine case itself, the headers/downpipes, radiators/oil coolers, and any other components found in that area. Something as simple as a rock or some other road debris can cause serious damage. Like hopping curbs? A skid plate will protect you from any potential hits. 

Note 1: Keep in mind that many aluminum skid plates are large once piece items. They can resonate with the sound of the engine and make it louder or just sound different. We have sound deadening tape available here. 

Note 2: Due to the nature of the skid plates and their positioning, it may be necessary to remove the skid plate for service and maintenance.

Big time protection in the engine area

When I placed my order, these were on backorder, and I had to wait a little over four weeks; no big deal because I knew they were coming from Germany. I was not disappointed once it was finally delivered because it bolted up to the factory Suzuki mounting spots without issue. This thing is HUGE but in a good way. It is very "beefy" and IS well-built, It looks like this skid plate WILL protect the engine area very well.

The only *MINOR* downside with the skid plate is there is no easy access to the oil drain plug or filter. You'll need to drop the plate prior to doing an oil change. Not a big deal because it just takes a minute or so to do. I can deal with that.

Also, they were packaged VERY well so the chance of damage during shipping is almost ZERO, IMHO.

I will have a review of the skid plate on my YouTube channel soon; feel free to look it up: Kentucky ADV @kentuckyadv
