Kawasaki KX 65 skid plate

I fashioned an aluminum skid plate blank for my 2005 KX65, and it requires a few mounting holes added that I believe I just pistol-drilled when fitting it to the bike. The length may need adjustment at the back end; I initially started with the flat blank, marked some bend areas with a marker, and then gradually added the bend in a vice while checking the fit until it mounted up nicely. To secure it, I used an aluminum bar under the exhaust and two short pieces of flat stock near the rear of the plate for mounting. If you create one, I was thinking of adding 1 or 2 inches on the right side up front to offer extra protection to the water pump.
