The most engine coverage you can get: This plate fully protects the clutch, ignition cover, header pipes and catalytic converter.
Integrated side stand relocator doubles the protection: BDCW has relocated the side stand from the engine case with a PATENTED relocation bracket, eliminating the risk of a broken engine case from an impact to the side stand.
More heft-5mm of thick aluminum: The optimal weight to protect, perform, and last. In fact, this plate could outlive your bike.
Smooth bottom for clearing obstacles: No holes to facilitate spills or hang ups on rocks or branches. Glides over most obstacles without bolts, rivets, or “sliders” to snag or break off.
Compatible with stock center stand: Eliminates the need for an extra center stand bash plate. No need to purchase exhaust header guards: This skid plate doesn’t need backup support-it does the job on its own.
Unique “Shok-Blok” protection: Additional rubber bumper acts as a shock absorber against large impacts.
Easy Installation: All necessary hardware provided.
Quick change artist: Remove just 4 bolts for an oil change!
Powder AND clear coated: Looks great and takes the punishment that anodized finishes can’t.
Hello everyone and welcome once again to Motos and Friends, the weekly podcast brought to you by Ultimate Motorcycling. My name is Arthur Coldwells.
Motos and Friends is brought to you by Yamaha. You can check out the amazing YZF-R7 at your local Yamaha dealer, or of course at YamahaMotorsports.com. The YZF-R7 is an amazing supersport machine that is comfortable too!
In this week’s first segment, Editor Don Williams takes the smallest BMW ADV bike on an urban adventure in Los Angeles. The BMW G 310 GS is a full size motorcycle with a modest engine, so of course we wonder if it is a little too underpowered and might struggle. Don put it through its paces and gives us his take.
In the second segment, Neale Bayly and Kiran Ridley have returned from the Ukraine to Paris where Kiran is based.
Kiran is an award winning photojournalist, and as an accomplished documentarian, he has covered stories as diverse as drug smuggling around the Mexican border, to the devastation of the Australian Bush Fires, to the tragedy of the Mediterranean migration crisis. Neale and Kiran reminisce about their motorcycle adventure in the Ukraine, and their observations and experiences with the incredibly resilient people of Ukraine, who have been put through such brutal hardship.
