T-Rex Racing Skid Plate for Kawasaki 2017-2020 Versys-X 300

Amazon Price:
$155 (est.)

Pros:

Lightweight Aluminum
Easy Installation

Cons:

Won't take a hit as well as steel.

Kyle’s Notes:

Protect your exhaust pipes! Cheaper and lighter than a steel skid plate, you have to ask yourself how much you plan to ride like a hooligan.

Xitomer Swing Arm Spool Set

Amazon Price:
$26 (est.)

Pros:

6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy
POM Spools

Cons:

None.

Kyle’s Notes:

The Versys X 300 does not include spools on the swingarm. Pop these on to make your maintenance sessions easier.

Givi Engine Guards (Crash Bars)

Amazon Price:
$170 (est.)

Pros:

Welded Steel Tubing
Black Finish

Increased aerodynamic drag.

Kyle’s Notes:

Protect your plastics, parts, and finish with these crash guards. These can also make a spill less dangerous for the rider.

Givi Windshield

$115 (est.)

Pros:

Polycarbonate
Larger than Stock
Greater Wind Protection

Givi Handguards

Amazon Price:
$125 (est.)

Pros:

ABS Plastic
Easy Installation

Cons:

Not metal-reinforced.

Kyle’s Notes:

While these handguards will deflect light brush away from your hands, my favorite reason to use these is to keep my hands out of the winter wind.

Givi Sidestand Foot

Amazon Price:
$50 (est.)

Pros:

Aluminum Construction
Increased Surface Area
Easy Installation

Cons:

None.

Kyle’s Notes:

Increased sidestand surface area makes my parked bike less likely to fall over on dirt surfaces.

$480 (est.)

Pros:

17 Liter Capacity
Hard Sided
Lid Gasket

These cases include all the necessary mounting hardware, and they fit the Versys-X perfectly. They're tougher than I expected; I've dropped the bike twice with no damage.
