Tougher Than Hell, MAD MAX style, Marine Proof, The Best, The Strongest, Heavy Duty, Hulk-Like, Reinforced, Reliable, Incomparable, Impressive, Superior... Those are just a few of the ways KLR 650 adventure motorcycle enthusiasts are describing the new Happy-Trail.com KLR650 Skid Plate.Happy Trails started manufacturing skid plates for the Kawasaki KLR 650 back in 1991, in fact, some of those original skid plates can still be found on a few early model KLR's. The newest KLR skid plate design, however, incorporates 20 years of customer feedback and experience and has earned the nickname "Tougher Than Hell KLR Skid Plate".
Over the years the team at Happy Trails had been experimenting with several different performance enhancements for the skid plate, however, when they received the following letter from a U.S. Marine, they knew it was time put it all together.
Here's the letter that inspired the changes:
"Dear Happy-Trail engineers & fabricators,
I ride a 2016 KLR650, and want to purchase one of your kick-ass take-no-prisoners skid plates (the awesome one with extended coverage, "water" bottle opener, the rubber impact kit, etc. Here is my issue and a HUGE request for You folks:
I've been a crazy Jarhead for the last 19+ years on active-duty with three combat tours in Fallujah, IRQ and "Bangin' Sangin", AFG. I manage to destroy everything "skid plate or protection-related" in no time flat, and I tear stuff up quicker than my wife or my beloved Corps can replace it!
Please folks, I'll pay extra if You can use 5/16" thick (vice 3/16") aluminum alloy to build me the ultimate "MAD MAX" skidplate. I need something Marine-proof that can take a lickin' 'n keep on tickin'. It's gotta be tougher than hell and 5/16" is what it'll take (heat-treated & all). Please tell me we can make this happen as I do my daggonest to buy everything I can "Made in USA" to keep our families and friends employed. I don't mind spending a few extra greenbacks for a "TO HELL & BACK" skidplate."
