Thick sturdy plate, solid welds, and holes line up properly, but I had to grind down the top of the front shifter side motor mount so the hole would line up. The mounting tab is too thick above the bolt. It would be nice if there were some instructions on what the order is for the rear mounts, (washer and spacer). But I do think this would provide great protection. I ordered the skid plate the day I bought the bike for my kids, but the second day we had the bike, I (grown adult) took the bike through an overgrown field and didn't see something through the tall grass and hit something that put a dent in the exhaust and hit a tab on the motor. I could have busted the motor on a less than 1 day old bike. The skid plate would have protected the motor. Just one time of protecting a busted motor makes this plate worth it. Using a 4" angle grinder made quick work of clearancing the tab, but it would be nice if I didn't have to do that, as it required test fitting and marking prior to grinding and installing.
