The Speed Merchant Skid Plate is a hand made aluminum belly pan that bolts to the stock Harley frame with no cutting or welding. A skid plate earns its keep twice. It puts a layer of aluminum between your primary and whatever the road throws up, and it closes off the open space under the motor that makes a stripped down bike look unfinished. Speed Merchant makes these by hand, and they mount to factory frame points, so nothing about the installation is permanent. How the Speed Merchant Skid Plate Mounts The plate bolts directly to the stock Harley frame. No cutting, no welding, no drilling into structure, and mounting hardware is included in the box. Because it uses factory locations it comes back off as easily as it went on, which matters if you ever sell the bike or want the stock look back. Hand made from aluminum in the USA.
