Motorcycle Skid Plates, Engine & Radiator Guards

Riding offroad can be extremely fun, challenging and rewarding. But it also has the potential to damage your bike. With rocks, logs and other obstacles so abundant in offroad riding, you run the risk of damaging your bike’s engine, radiator, water pump and frame rail if they are left unprotected. Motorcycle skid plates and engine and radiator guards can be added to your bike to provide the protection that you need to go offroad. They absorb the impacts so that your engine and radiator do not.

Motorcycle skid plates and guards are usually fairly simple to install. They do not require any major modifications and, in most cases, simply bolt to the frame of the motorcycle. The best guards are built with aluminum so that they are strong, yet still fairly light. Many skid plates have integrated drainage holes so that you do not have to remove it to change the oil on the bike. Venting on guards allow air to still flow to the radiator and engine so that the bike will not overheat.
