I would like to just see a good photo of one! Were they made of a heavier material than stock, other than being stainless?  The stock units had the little flanges on the holes that were supposed to make the pan stiffer and stronger, I'm guessing, but a little thicker metal and being a 304 stainless would go a long way and not be too expensive. If I could get accurate drawings, I think I could make one even in my garage.
   Type at you later,

Does it still look good? If so I will likely take it. What part of the country do you live in?

Go ahead and get it if you are going to use it for a pattern. Let me know when you get them made and I will buy 1-2.

Would Penton Owners prefer Stainless Steel or Aluminum construction Skid Plates ? All Custom Fabricators will produce a limited production run and furnish them to Al Buehner for resale based upon preferences.

Karl, Thanks for doing that.  I think Aluminum seems the way, whatever my vote is worth.  It is what is going on my Rocket Bike.  Appreciate your help now and in the past.  You de man!
