Bash Plate
/This is a boring post. Just a simple bash plate bolted on with 3 screws. The only bit of valuable information that you can get here is that the bottom of the bike has three pre threaded screw holes just waiting for a base plate. So nothing needs to be unscrewed to install this.
I went with the R&G bash plate on recommendation from a buddy. It's a low cost thin plate. I'm not really taking this off road often. If anything just the occasional dirt path while camping. For $100 it made sense to have as it seems like a vonerable spot. This plate needs to removed every oil change but it's super easy to do.
If you are planning to hit more complex off road trails I would recommend something that has more area coverage. I've head that the Blackdog Skid Plate is great for hard core usage.
