First Repair to the KLR

I figured out a few weeks ago that the plastic engine skid plate on my KLR was inadequate when I bottomed out on some rocks. I put a pretty good gash in it. I figured it's only going to be a matter of time before I busted something more than the plastic. So, I replaced it with an Aluminum Engine Skid Plate from Happy Trails.com. They sell a total engine protection package that includes a front, bottom, and side fairing guards. PERFECT!

I worked on it Friday night after everyone was crashed out. The install was pretty straight forward and only took me about an hour. I took the bike for a test ride Saturday afternoon. Everything works well and I especially like the integrated highway pegs - great for stretching the legs on a long run!
