This is it! We're testing arguably the best skid plate in the world for the KTM 790 Adventure motorcycle.
Designed and made by hand at BDCW (Black Dog Cycle Works) in Sandpoint, Idaho, USA.
Kurt and Martha Forget are the proud business owners and designers of this aftermarket gear and we're putting it to the test this year on Jim's 2019 KTM 790 Adventure.
These 3/16" (4.76mm) thick, 5052 Aluminum skid plates don't come cheap at $349 USD, but Kurt gave us a break on the price to make this review happen. We appreciate that very much.
More to come on this once Jim has a chance to ride with it out in the field.
