Iron Baltic HDPE Skid Plates

I decided to go ahead and order myself a set. I just couldn’t take it any more, riding around with my belly exposed.
After exchanging a few emails with Nils Laur, I placed my order Thursday afternoon, around 2:00 PM. Yesterday (Monday), at 11:03, they were delivered to my front porch. Amazing, and shipping is covered in the price of the skid plates.

They come right out of Iron Baltics warehouse, which is in Estonia. For those of you who don’t know where that is, it is south of Finland, and east of Sweden, with the Baltic Sea separating them. For my package to be delivered in just 3-1/2 days from there is just unreal. I can’t get a letter delivered from my house to a neighboring state in 3-1/2 days! Kudos to Iron Baltic and DHL.

It took me about 10-15 minutes to get them unwrapped and everything separated. Probably could make another skid plate from all the packaging. lol Everything appears to be there. A ton of various sizes of bolts and screws and washers. It would be nice if they could separate them, and label them in individual packages, but I think I have all of the needed hardware. A number sticker on the various brackets and plates would simplify things as well.
The instruction sheets take some studying, and still aren’t real clear on a couple of the brackets, but I think I have them figured out. Kind of threw me for a bit of a loop for a while as they had the front bracket for the pre 2015 570’s included in the hardware package, and that is the bracket shown on the instruction sheet. Took me a bit to figure that one out. Hopefully tonight I can finish up the job of getting them all installed.

Still have mixed thoughts about this whole HDPE thing, but I hope when I get them all installed I will have a better feeling about them. Right now, I just don’t know…
Will update and include some pictures when I get it done.
