Anyone have experience with the 2020+ Bumper/skid plate??? Your thoughts?

[Mikey]

I am seeing ads for an aftermarket skid plate/bumper for the 2020+ body style out there, I was just wondering if anyone has any experience good or bad with them. I had a bump skid on my older bike and liked the added protection it gave me, I am missing that on my 2025. I am plaining on doing a shock upgrade in the spring on the front end, that should hold the front a little prouder witch it drastically needs in my eyes and maybe my needs will change. But anyway, do any of you have any thoughts on this?

I have the Spyder Extras front bumper/skid plate on my 2022 RT S2S. I put it on the same time I did my BR Ultra sway bar. I also added the H&R springs from MTV. No clearance issues, and minimal (if any) scraping. Quite happy with the set up.

I did it not so much for ground impact (and your new shocks should maintain the same ride height for good handling) but for protection from curbs and frontal impact as your Frunk is just hanging out there.

* Here's the reason a skid plate might be considered necessary in protecting your front underside.
* This is on my F3Limited.
* Oh, the damage, and parts cost, it has saved and I'm reasonably cautious knowing how low the front is.

That looks like an aftermarket bump skid, where did you get that?

Did you do the bumper/skid combo?

Just like what Troop showed, the combo from Spyder Extras.

That is a Spyder Pops product.
