Best Skid Plate for your Enduro Bike ? Full Install + Honest Review

Hey up YouTubers — Simon B here! 👋 In this video, I install and review a Hard Enduro Store skid plate on my GPX TSE 300R, taking a close look at build quality, protection, fitting tips, and whether upgrading from the standard bash plate is actually worth it. If you ride enduro, green lanes, or off-road trails, protecting your engine, water pump, and generator cover is essential — so today we fit this one-piece CNC machined polyamide skid plate, compare it against the stock guard, and show you exactly how to install it step-by-step. I also share a top workshop tip for drilling mounting holes accurately, plus an important check you should always do when buying a two-stroke motorcycle. 👉 If you're thinking about upgrading protection on your GPX TSE 300R (or any enduro bike), this video should help you decide. 🛒 Links & Discount Check out the Hard Enduro Store https://hardenduro.store/ 🌍 Worldwide shipping available 💸 Use my discount code for money off SimonB12 👍 If you enjoyed the video: Hit LIKE SUBSCRIBE (97% of you still aren’t! 😄) Drop a comment — I reply to loads of them 👉 Discount links and details are below https://www.ridernav.com/51MONB code - 51MONB 👉 https://hardenduro.store/ 👉 discount code - SimonB12 😎 👉 Let me know what protection parts you’re running on your bike If you’re thinking of riding through the colder months — or want to stay warm on early morning commutes — these could be the perfect pair for you. item number MG7501H 🔗 Get yours here https://rideiron.com/?ref=SIMONBUTTER... 💰 Use my discount code below for extra savings!
