What is the most recommended protection part of outfitting your Kawasaki KLR650 Gen1 for off-road, besides handguards?

 

That's right. A robust skid plate is necessary to prevent a critical failure in the backcountry!

 

Unfortunately, it's still too common to see unprotected bikes suffering from rocks thrown at the undercarriage, breaking crankcases, stripping drain bolts, or cracking case covers and leaving the rider stranded or simply ruining the trip.

 

Ricochet Off-Road doesn't mess around when it comes to protecting your bike, and it shows in the construction of their skid plates.

 

Thanks to the extended "ears" on the sides, they are perfectly designed to give maximum protection to your engine, frame, and cases. The construction is simple and solid with 3/16" thick aluminum alloy, and they come with all the hardware required for installation.

 

You'll still be able to access essential areas thanks to the maintenance cutouts in the plate. For example, you can do an oil change without removing it.

 

The skid plates are also finished with a tough clear anodization finish for a long-lasting good look of the aluminum. They won't look like crap after a few rides, unlike painted ones!

 

Note: If your Gen1 is fitted with SW-Motech Crashbars, please choose the correct option in the drop down-menu (SKU:230MC)

This option might be made to order with a turnaround of 2/3 weeks. Please inquire if you have a short timeframe in mind.
