• Full Coverage: One solid piece protects headers, engine block, catalytic converter, and linkage — tire to tire, with no gaps.
• Frame-Mounted: Anchors to two M10 lower frame mounts per side — impact force goes to the frame, not the engine case, where it can cause serious damage.
• Solid Center Stand Support: Replaces hollow plastic center stand pins with machined metal ones, creating one of the strongest and widest mounting points on the motorcycle.
• Thick Plate: At 4.76 mm (3/16 in), the aluminum plate is thicker than most competitors.
• No Weak Points: TIG-welded seams on every joint give the plate the strength other designs skip.
• More Ground Clearance: The frameless design adds 1 inch of extra clearance under a 500 lb loaded bike — critical when navigating rocks and ruts off-road.
• No Hang-Up Profile: No bottom-mounted bolts and a narrow side profile let the bike glide over obstacles and hold a tight line in deep ruts.
• Clean Oil Changes: Teardrop drain design lets oil flow out cleanly with no splatter — no need to remove the plate, even without a center stand.

The stock skid plate on the GS was not built for serious adventure riding. Even a low-speed impact can damage the engine housing. AltRider designed this plate from the ground up to solve the problems common in competitor designs — engine-mounted brackets, thin rear supports, cheap fasteners, and complicated systems that fail at the worst moment.

The mounting system anchors to two M10 lower frame mounts per side, not the engine. Impact force transfers to the frame. The custom-machined center stand fasteners replace the hollow plastic OEM pins and create the widest, most stable mounting points on the motorcycle, making the plate impossible to twist on impact.

This is a plate built and designed in Seattle. Need replacement brackets in five years? AltRider manufactures everything in-house, so parts are available — unlike importers who lose access to components once a model cycles out.

Available in silver or black anodize. Kit includes one-piece aluminum skid plate, stainless steel mounting brackets, and a complete stainless steel hardware kit. If AltRider Crash Bars are already installed, mounting brackets are not required — select "AltRider Crash Bar Installed" in the dropdown.
