Givi Skid Plate?

Fish Taco said:

Does anybody here have the Givi Skid plate on their S10? I am looking to pick up a non-expensive, basic skid plate to help protect the oil pan/filter/etc. Most of my riding is on road, with some gravel mixed in. No serious off-roading.

I'd love to hear any opinions on the plate, including installation/removal (mainly, is it a pain to get off to change oil/filter?). I'd also appreciate any pictures on the bike. It looks like the plate only comes in unpainted aluminum. I like the look generally, but my luggage and crash bars are both black, so not sure how this piece will fit in with the rest of the bike.

Many thanks,

I just installed this plate on my 12. There were a couple small issues with install. The front bracket that mounts to the front of the engine was too wide and required a few milimeters ground off with a bench grinder.

Thanks to all. Wondering if anyone else had the same fit issues as Mallardmission?

I fit my Givi skid plate today and had the same issue with the front bracket. Luckily I was at a buddy's place so he could weld the nuts to the brackets and he had a grinder. Surprised Givi let that error slip through.

Pleased with how it looks. I'm not going to be bouncing off rocks with it but it should make a decent gravel guard.
