Hawk Skid Plate suggestions
 

I'm looking to get a skid plate bolted to the Hawk and I was looking for suggestions. I can weld and bend but a bolt on is always the best route. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

Wish you lived close to me. You could bring your Bike over to my Shop and we could get that Skid Plate put on. I have all kinds of stuff laying around we could use to put it on.

Not sure where you are but I'm in CT.

Im in Caneyville KY. We are a long way apart.

I would be very careful with the design of a skid-plate. There is only 1 1/4 quarts of oil in that engine, it needs all the cooling from the airflow it can get. Most people think of these engines as air-cooled. Actually the oil does around half of the cooling, then the oil is cooled by air passing over and around the cases. It is a wet sump engine, remember.

Borrow the design from Latin American countries... Keywords: protetor do cárter / protector de motor | bros | nxr...

Interesting idea making a skid plate out of HDPE sheet, or plastic cutting board. I can't find the link, but recall a guy using a black HDPE cutting board, skid plate looked nice!

The Honda XR200R skid plate would be a good choice. It's aluminum, full of cooling holes and very light. It bolts to the bottom of the motor.

That assumes you have no cradle under the motor.

Trying to fabricate a skid plate for my Hawk, and wife is not too pleased!!:grr:

be sure to cut some holes in it for air flow.

Thanks, i'm in the process of doing that.
