Hardware for a Belly Skid Plate

[Muggzy]

Anyone have or know where I can get those hooked aluminum clamps that hold a skid plate to the frame? I got a good belly plate with no hardware.

conduit hangers work pretty good, you can get them in homedepot where the conduit is obviously

Yeah, I though about conduit hangers but there's no threads or captive nut on 'em. Some of them will be impossible to hold a nut on the back while mounting the skid plate.

no impossible here, i make my own skidplates, and have used 3/4" conduit straps on every one, stand the bike on its grab bar, and then you can easily work both sides at the same time, get somone to help you if needed, but i have never needed help while on its ass, and be sure to get nylock nuts so they dont come loose

Thanks AWK I'll take your word for it and pick some up on my next pass through HD. I:I

if the holes provided in the skid make it hard to get at them, just drill your own where they're accessible

I welded tabs to the bottom of the frame, countersunk holes on the bottom of the bellypan and used countersund allenhead bolts. My belly pan isnt going anywhere
