Default Skid plate / radiator / engine guards
I've been looking for a good skid plate but can't find what I'm looking for.

Do they make a skid plate that protrudes to the sides a bit to act as a guard for your shifter and down low out the side stuff?

Any pics of it installed on your bike? Their picture kind of sucks. How long did it take to install?

Utah plate is what a lot of us bought nearly 2 years ago. Here are a couple of pics of it on my bike.

+1 on the Utah skid plate. Good quality and fit. Easy install (15-20min).
Deej has got the pics covered, but here's mine anyway (i like to show off! lol!)

Here's mine fitted with B&B Offroad's bashplate and frame/master cylinder guards. Well worth the outlay if you ride anywhere near rocks and trees.

What exactly do you need to do for the install, does the plate come with instructions? Doesn't look too bad.

Cool
It comes with real basic instructions. You'll need hex ("allen") wrenches to install the bolts they supply. Super easy.
