They are all the same.

The once nice thing about Happy Trails is that Tim will work with you on building a custom plate. For example, both Devon and I order ones with double thick plating on the bottom as well as getting the ear on the right side extended to protect the waterpump. Z DC

they are basically all the same except the dual star one is a little shorter at the back to allow for a centre stand the others you have to cut or grind down if you want a centre stand fitted. paul A16

This is not correct. I have worked with the manufacture of these skid plates and they now make all skid plates for the KLR650 shorter to clear any center stands. Fred http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com http://www.canyonlandsmotorclassic.com

I got my last KLR battery at Sam's wholesale for a good price and it has been on with very little care for a couple of years. Criswell Jim Priest wrote:
