SW MOTECH SKID PLATE HONDA AFRICA TWIN WITH HEED BUNKER CRUSH BARS

[@fifthsymphony3221]

Really nice job. I'm thinking about upgrading my OEM skid plate. (It's not the most robust, but it's ok if you're not banging it too much). But it looks like I'll have to do some mods to the new skid plate too - for it to fit around my Hepco & Becker guards. Might have to get me a nice angle grinder! Thanks for another helpful video. Keep riding safe, man.

Thank you for watching I couldn't find any solution so I decided to give that a shot and it worked

[@Itchybite]

Thanks for your video. Why does the 14mm nut have to be removed from underneath and the bolt slid back?

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

You will have a hard time to fit the skid plate if You don't

I installed Heed crash bars on my 22 africa twin and I would like to install Heed skid plate but not a steel plate still watching your video

I had the skid plate for quite some time at the end i was not as impressed and last year I have installed SWMotech way better quality and durability with angle grinder you can make it fit with Heed engine bars

Do you ever wanted a different skid plate with Heed Bunker crush bars here is the answer

I'm using these SW Motech skid plates for 2 years and I'm quite unsatisfied with the supplied mounting brackets, those are bad engineering design. It's a pain to mount the plate with them, the mounting tabs will easily come off and rotate with the bolt. I have reinstalled the OEM Honda grommets and brackets and those are much more reliable. Luckily the OEM brackets are compatible with SW Motech supplied screws, are much more reliable and easier to install the plate with them.

I couldn't agree more You are correct I am very happy with the skid plate itself but yes the front screws are pain in the rear end lol. I never thought of this idea of using OEM mounting screws I give it a try this month when I will be changing oil maybe even make a video on this issue that may help others thanks for the idea 💡
