Good Morning and Happy 2020!
Just got yesterday my new 2018 NC750X. The bike is part of a project to go around the US this summer with an old "Compadre" and his VStrom. We are just a couple of happy 60 year old kids that got permission from the wives to go and play.
As it happen with a new bike I'm in the process of "farkling" the beast. One item I'm considering is a skid plate. The obvious one is SW-Motech one here, but I got a sore eye due to its $330 price.
Looking for an alternative I found this "cheapy" for 30$. It's got a weird design being flat vs following the contour of the engine. Just for reference, I just need a light protector for pebbles and small rocks, not a heavy duty off road one, as I won't be doing any of it.
Any experience with the cheap one? Opinions?
Thanks,
