Hi Cd,
Actually, that was an idea that popped up during the build, but...
Instead of a skid plate, I was thinking more along the lines of using a small rubber roller wheel at the extreme end of the dropped portion. When going up/down a steep driveway apron, the wheel would be first object to contact and simply raise the tail underside as necessary.
I was hesitant to try it at this point in the construction, since I'm not sure how much longer the nice weather is going to hold out, and there's still some fundamental stuff to finish like the total length of the shape, and then lights/reflectors and wiring, and rough fiberglass work on the outside skin.
That may be something I can try next year when the weather again warms up enough to ride the motorcycle to work.
Jim.
