Honda needs to leave off the visqueen sheet that comes on them, buyers think its a skid plate
Speaking of.. I was looking to repurpose mine... but there are more holes in that thing than there is material!! It wasn't until it was laying on the shop floor a couple days ago that I realized how much it really does suck!

Bad suck! If I would have known how thin it is, I would have never got it off road until I had a real skid plate.

I wonder if a good truck bed liner would help? You know, like rhino spray on?

You are right there. I was camped beside a bunch of can ams at RRB A WEEK AGO and they didn't get back till late at night. I found out that a four seater had a stick go through the floor board and made his throttle go wide open and they drilled a tree.If he wouldn't have hit tree it would have been a cliff.

For some reason I had just moved my leg from that location, it was very late at night. When I hit it my rear wheels came off the ground it stopped me so quickly.

Last trip into Windrock we hit a tall skinny rock... finally got it washed yesterday and my floor board on the drivers side is busted...
I have skids but nothing that turns up the fire wall.

I rode with this guy about two weeks before this happened. Unfortunately he died about a year ago in a plane wreck returning from a hunting trip.

Beware this is hard to look at.
