AltRider Suzuki V-Strom 650 Skid Plate

Please Note:  The Altrider V-Strom DL650 Crashbars are required to install the skidplate

Protect the vital engine cases and oil sump without giving up ground clearance with the AltRider Skid Plate for the Suzuki V-Strom DL650. Constructed of impact resistant 4.75 mm anodized aluminum, this skid plate provides ideal protection for off road conditions. Your exhaust header pipe is also fully protected without sacrificing ground clearance. The oil cooler is well protected while still allowing optimal air flow.

Included with the skid plate is a redesigned rear bracket that allows for easier installation and more overall strength. The skid plate matches up perfectly to the V-Strom crash bars using hidden fasteners for a clean, finished look. This product is also available in silver.

  • Made from 4.75 mm (3/16 inch)  thick lightweight anodized aluminum
  • Protects oil cooler without restricting air flow

AltRider Suzuki V-Strom DL650 Skid Plate 5 5 1 1
Most likely the best skidplate available for the Vstrom I bought and installed it myself about a month ago. Installation went well and was actually quite easy. I probably should have just rated it a 5 as it couldn't have been much easier considering. Removing and reinstalling the kick stand mounting bolts was the most difficult thing. Mostly because they are long and fine thread so they have to be turned 100 times to get them out and then back in. I didn't have the perfect tools for the job so I had to make do plus I don't have a lift so I was on my back on the garage floor. It still wasn't a big deal. Mounting hardware was a perfect fit as was the place. Quality is first rate and couldn't be better. Mounting bracket for the rear of the plate is stainless steel and hardware is recessed. Front bolts where it attaches to the crash bar were easy to do and I'm 6'2" with large hands so I'm not sure what all the fuss is that I read online in other locations. Again, fit was perfect. Everything lined up well and instructions were good. I would buy it again without hesitation despite the price. It really wasn't that much more expensive than the alternatives when you are getting perfection and a clean integrated connection to the crash bar. Buy it. You won't be disappointed. August 7, 2012

Answer: 
As far as I am aware - the AltRider Skid Plate won't install with any crash-bar other than the AltRider one. You would have to modify fitment to get it to work.

Answer: 
No. It is specifically designed to integrate with the Altrider crashbars. It would be better to go with a universal type skid plate available for the VStrom when using other bars.

Answer: 
You can physically install the plate without crash-bars, but they are recommended for use with the crash bars for added stability.

Answer: 
No. The crashbars act as the mounting point for the front of the plate. This skidplate is designed to work specifically with the Altrider crashbars for the Vstrom.
