Vikram, why is it so hard to accept my judgement? Why don't you at least look at a GV skid plate first hand before trashing my opinion?
From what I hear from GV owners worldwide, the GV skid plates get torn very fast. Should I not listen to such first hand opinions?
As a martial artist, I was into braking anything I could during my late teens and early 20s. Then sense prevailed. Anyway, the point being I became good at figuring out what is breakable and what is not. The GV skid plates don't stand a chance against a sharp stone impact.

I spent more than a month researching GV skid pates. Suzuki Germany does offer aluminium skid plates for 600 euros. There are many companies worldwide offering aluminium skid plates specially for GV because of the demand. Too expensive to source it from there, I have to get it done locally.

Warranty covers defects, not breakage during use.
