I want a skid plate for my 1984 Z50R. I am looking on eBay and see a lot of CT70 Skid plates that mount with the peg mount and on the main frame tube. I wonder if the CT70 skid plate would fit on my Z. It seems the top mounts on the skid plate could fit around the front gas tank mounts. I may have to drill the holes to a larger diameter. So would it fit? If not I will buy a cheap (low quality) one off eBay for $20.00.

I see that the skid plate is bent. I probably won't buy this one. I just wanted you to know what kind of skid plate I'm talking about.

Both Minigunz.com and Northeast Vintage Cycle sell true Z50 skid plates. Same mounting points and looks great. The CT70 one will fit poorly and look like crap.

The 70 one would be too tall I think...

XR/CRF will fit. You can buy them anywhere. www.DPMmx.com has the kind that don't bolt to the cylinder itself if that's your issue.

I decided to go with an aftermarket skidplate off eBay. It is more likely to be crap than good. It was$33.00 shipped. Oh well. It should still last a while.
