5 of 5 Definitely recommend April 19, 2026
Reviewer: Greg from New York  
I have this skid plate, the lower crash bars and the hand guards. I can find no fault in the skid plate. The metal is strong, has a cut out to drain the oil and I like that it covers the rear linkage. Plus it looks cool. Definitely recommend👍

5 of 5 Very nice! June 27, 2025
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Maine  
Extremely well packaged for shipping- I was impressed. The skid plate is a piece of art with beautiful welds and perfect black finish. Install is super simple, remove old plastic plate and put this one on. I love that the entire bottom of the bike is covered, nothing is left exposed now. I bought this with the lower and upper crash bar kits from T-Rex which are also excellent and my bike is ready to go hard!

5 of 5 Fantastic! September 18, 2024
Reviewer: Jason from Western Colorado  
This is the skid plate you want to buy, especially if you buy the T-Rex Racing crash bars! These install perfectly and replace the factory plastic skid plate that is pretty much useless. I was able to put this on in about 10 minutes. A tip for putting it on, get the back bolts started and then do the front bolts/nuts. Don't tighten anything up until you're ready. Route the overflow tubes so that they won't interfere with install and, once that is completed, tighten down all 4 fasteners. Easy peasy!

I love that this protects the entire underbody of the bike and they even added depth to allow for protection of the oversized oil drain plug that comes stock. So, even if you don't change to the low-pro design bolt, this skid plate will protect you!

Final impression: BUY THIS NOW!

5 of 5 The Best May 5, 2023
Reviewer: Honolulu Rider from Oregon  
I have this skid plate on my 2022 KLR 650 Traveler.  It is extremely well made and provides excellent protection including great coverage from the front through the linkage. It also looks great and integrates with the lines of the bike. I have owned many adventure bikes and used many different aftermarket skid plates and I consider this to be the best yet.

5 of 5 3rd Gen KLR 650 HD Skid Plate September 19, 2022
Reviewer: Peter from Litchfield, Maine  
The best option available in my opinion. Fits perfectly, made very strong and matches the bike exceptionally well. Looks factory, but is so much better. Clean application, flat bottom to slide over obstacles and also keeps your rear linkage protected. Definitely worth the investment. I have yet to see anything in the same league as T-Rex when it comes to protecting your bike, from quality, to fit and finish.
