Don't forget the "Bottle Opener" cutout on each side of the skid plate/bike too... never know when a bottle needs to be opened after all

Just wondering out loud. Contrasting color. Arctic silver metallic

Everything gets painted this color around here, got lots of the stuff (actually brighter metallic finish than pic shows)

How did you perform the breaks ? (Folds)

pcspecialist · 08-22-2016, 04:12 AM

I think it looks great unpainted. Polish it up a bit and clear coat it.

chuck · 08-22-2016, 07:53 AM

I will think about that.

I used a 4.5 cutting disc and notched about 40% of the breaks,then I folded them by hand.

Unpainted screen and black will look good too, I think.

Cool shape, Chuck. You couldn't buy a nicer skid plate uptown.
