Skid Plate for CFMOTO 450 MT

Lightweight & ultra-strong skid plate for your off-road adventures

Designed and machined by BVL, this one-piece 4 mm 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum skid plate replaces the stock plastic guard on your CFMOTO 450 MT.

Its CNC-folded ribs and polygonal cut-outs stiffen the whole part while allowing mud, sand and rock debris to drain away.

Technical specifications

• Overall length: 466 mm (≈18.3")
• Front width: 326 mm (≈12.8")
• Side height: 198 mm (≈7.8")
• Plate thickness: 4 mm (≈0.16") – laser-cut 6061-T6 aluminum
• Weight: 1.95 kg (≈4.3 lbs) including stainless hardware
• Mounting: OEM mounting points + supplied spacers

Advantages

• Maximum protection: covers engine cases, lower frame and front header.
• Increased rigidity: CNC folds + internal reinforcements absorb impacts and slides.
• Thermal dissipation: cut-outs let air circulate.
• Premium look: sand-blasted matte black contrasted with chamfered raw-alu edges.
• Easy maintenance: access the drain plug without removing the plate.

Installation

1. Place the bike on its center stand or a lift.
2. Remove the stock plate and keep the bolts if needed.
3. Position the BVL plate with the supplied spacers, align the holes.
4. Tighten using the bolts (torque: 22 N·m).
5. Check clearances, then torque to final spec.

Note

Product developed specifically for the 450 MT: no frame or engine modifications required. Raw edges may lighten slightly over time; apply a protective wax to maintain the brushed finish.
