it's still a helluva lot of money for just a piece of molded plastic.

True but looks what it protects--what do you suppose a busted oil filter housing costs and what if it happens 20 miles from home out of cell phone range?? then it's worth more than that if it protects the stuff sticking out on the engine--brsides it's only "Fun Tickets" --you cannot take then with you..

How do these skid plates affect running temp? I like the sound of the protection but thought less air flow might make the bike run hot.

Have not received this skid plate as of today but being water cooled skid plate will not have any effect on cooling  besides i'm trying to save aluminum for BEER cans!! :cheers:

I don't think the crankcase gets that hot anyway .... 

[Billi Ji]

The radiator guards are a factor, they restrict airflow through the radiator.

I guess this wouldn't be enough protection for you, right?

And while at the topic of skid plates, what do you guys think of skid plate foam?
