There are times in life, when you should stand back and soak up the beauty of the situation. Scheffelmeier Metall is one of the those times. He is a clearly a master of his craft, and it's almost a damn shame to be putting his work on the bottom of motorcycle. I believe that most of is should be on the coffee table.
They say that a good weld should look like a stack of nickels, which has been slightly knocked over. Look at how well his corner comes together and the welding. It is a point where form meets function.

The proprietor of Scheffelmeier Metall is willing to do custom work. Here, he was able to blend the tool box from one skidplate design onto his existing skidplate for the G650X. Attaches to the frame, not the engine. The aluminum is very thick too!
The tool box has a rubber seal, so it is water resistant and in new condition 100% waterproof. There are two brackets which will bolt on at the frame. On these bracket the bash plate will bolt on with two M8 bolts. The bash plate is made of 7020 T6 aluminum. The surface is shot peen.
This is a standard 6" rachet extension shown for size. This is one large cavernous hole! My only complaint is that I stuggle to keep it water tight, but really most of the stuff that goes in here is waterproof anyhow.
This skidplate design also covers the very exposed oil return line shown here on Snook's build, which neither the factory X-Country or X-Challenge plate protect.
Since shipping across the pond is prohibitive, I decided that I should indulge with another item that would essentially tag-along at no shipping.
The Front sprocket cover - case saver was just the item. The machining marks make me almost wish I would have just got the natural finish to really make this one pop!

This protective gear is to protect the engine case better if the chain breaks and is wedged between the motor and pinion! Also catches less dirt in it, as this is not closed completely! Includes 3 x M6 VA screws! The protective gear is anodized black.
