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.

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.

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.

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