Outback Motortek Skid Plate - Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L/Adventure Sports

Skid plates must be mounted to the Outback Motortek Crash bars, as a System. It will not mount separately. The Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin is the most anticipated bike on the adventure/dual-sport motorcycle market. Outback Motortek couldn’t miss out on the chance to have this amazing motorcycle outfitted with protective and off-road accessories.

The skid plate was designed to truly tackle hardcore terrains and adventure. It is also the ONLY CRF1000L Africa Twin skid plate on the market that attaches to the crash bars! Outback Motortek takes this bike seriously, just as Honda advertises it: the True Adventurer. Period.

Compatibility:
Skid plate: 2016 / 2017 / 2018 / 2019 standard and 2018 / 2019 Adventure Sports. One skid plate for all models.

Features
  • Protects crucial areas of the engine – oil pan, engine case, oil cooler, oil filter and exhaust header! That’s a long list of very expensive parts to expose to any sort of damage that will reduce your Africa Twins value in no time.
  • Uniquely designed vent system – Not only unique but very-well thought out. No unnecessary holes were designed on this bash plate. As a result, your engine will less likely to overheat when mud and all sorts of debris from off-roading fly at the engine and get stuck between the skid plate and the engine/exhaust header.
  • True off-road and adventure shape – What does that even mean?? It means we have experience in building top-notch bash plates. We avoid designing skid plates that are shaped like boxes, have sharp edges and corners and will guaranteed to restrict your rides off road. We design and build skid plates that you will only benefit from while riding on rough terrain.
  • Embossed ribs – These additional ribs add a lot of strength to the skid plate where it matters the most: the bottom. By embossing these ribs into the skid plate, we increase the cross-section of the material to about 9mm, hence this area is nearly twice as strong as other parts. Not to mention, these ribs act like gliders while your skid plate tries to slide over rocks, logs and other hard obstacles on offroad trails. Smaller surface means less resistance.
  • The only known design with ridges on the bottom of the skid plate – Ridges help the skid plate glide over hard objects with the least resistance. Most importantly though, these embossed ridges will REINFORCE the bottom of this bash plate without adding unnecessary weight.
  • 4mm thick laser cut aluminum – Nothing is ever an overkill on an adventure bike, hence we choose to build our bash plates from this ridiculously tough and thick, yet lightweight material.
  • Powder coated – combined with sandblasting it’s a killer combination to protect your product’s surface. No frills and tough just like your ADV/Dual Sport bike!

3 of 5 HHHmmm - some issues with fitment October 17, 2019
REVIEWER: Slo Can from West Kootenays, BC Canada  
Though skid plate package was opened it was written as unmounted, there were black marks on the silver skid plate and lots of marring around one mounting hole.  Wish dual sport would have knocked a few $ off.  Had to shim skid plate to keep it from touching exhaust header. Skid plate mounting bar needed to be modified to get plate holes to line up.
