Default SW Motech skidplate

Does anyone have pics of the SW Motech skidplate on the bike?

I see the pics at Twisted Throttle and it has an odd angular look with a lot of cutouts. Might look great on the bike though.

Good/bad feedback from real users?

I think it looks the best but others offer more coverage. The cutouts are there so the stock frame "wings" can stick thru and the skidplate hugs in tighter to the engine.

I have this one. It's a decent skidplate for the money. It will dent if you hit something hard enough, but you can hammer it flat again later.

If you can afford a thicker one from another mfr, get it. If not, this one will still do the job nicely.

Thanks everyone. By any chance does anyone have a pic of their bike with the Motech plate showing?

I have the Ricochet Skip Plate from Rocky Mountain. Paid a little over $90.00. As I recall, it had better coverage than most of the other plates that I looked at.
