Does anyone still sell skidplates for the Uly? I don't see them on the touratech web site.

I've got a plate which i haven't mounted as I was going to see if my welder friend could come up with something to weld onto the front to make it cover the front of the muffler a little. I'll see if i can come up with some measurements... or i could send it to be copied if you'll cover the roundtrip shipping

some good measurements would be fine. if i was home id offer the round trip ticket but i aint near my machine or shop right now.

but some rough measurements would help along with what you want modded, maybe a drawing?

with cnc man possibilities is endless. also is the original one aluminum or steel?

I'd be interested in a Touratech-type (that's the aluminum model with the round holes, right?) if you guys make one... Thanks!

Count me in as interested in a touratech type skid plate as well as the "front protector" panel that mated with the skid plate.

Now we just need to get an existing skidplate to model and perhaps Streetglider can get them cut.
Let's get to work on this!
Does anyone have access to a Touratech skidplate?

im currently out of town working but anyone who can get me some good measurements i can get some dxf.s drawn and get a couple prototypes cut from some thinner steel to test fit. once the design is ironed out its just a matter of loading aluminum instead of steel into the machine
