Interested in purchasing a Skid Plate for my 2006 TE610... Hoping to buy a Hyde Racing Poly Skid Plate. Less sound reflection than an aluminum plate... Called Hyde Racing today. They list their plate as fitting a 2007 and later. They said the 2006 was different. I called Hall's... they suggested I look at the parts fische for the 2006 vs. 2007 to see if the frame and engine case numbers match... They are exact matches from 2006 to 2007. The frame is the same in 2008 as well, but the engine number is different. I think I'm going to order one and see if it fits... Anyone still here who has put a Hyde Racing skid plate on a 2006 that can verify that it will fit?
I ordered up the Hyde Racing Skid Plate from BRP. Installed the Bag Racks today and the Wolfman Bags... Fully adventurized now... 5 Gal IMS Tank, GPS, SPOT, Wolfman Tank Bag, Wolfman Panniers, plus a couple of 1 liter fuel bottles for extra insurance... Should easily have 300 miles of range now...
Just a few follow-up pictures to show that the Hyde Racing Skid Plate (Part # HP-SG-99) does fit a 2006 TE610... Simple retention method (same type front and rear) As you can see, it's a perfect fit on a 2006. It's made of a Teflon/Co-Polymer which creates much less reflected and resonant noise than an aluminum skid plate. It's simple to install (less than 10 minutes). The bike is about ready for some fun trips...
