Welcome to the forum. You'll love the bike more and more as you get more miles on it. ::012::
There are only three skid plates that do not mount to the cast aluminum sump, ACD from Spain, Ride On ADV from Jaxon in Texas, and the Rumbux which is a fully integrated 3-Part system of crash bars and skid plate.
As said above, I am the US importer for Rumbux. Rumbux has upper crash bars, a lower bash frame, and a 4.5mm aluminum skid plate that is bolted directly to the lower bash frame with 6 bolts into heavy duty nut clips which allows a single tool to remove the skid plate for oil/filter changes. Very little added time in doing oil/filter changes and excellent protection.
IMO, the ACD is a good piece of kit, though will take some more time to remove for oil/filter changes. Probably not much different from the AltRider in time, though I believe the ACD to have a better mounting situation. The Ride On ADV skid plate is the most protection money can buy and bomb proof by any standard. It also costs as much or more than the full Rumbux 3-Part kit, so you are getting what you pay for, but you have to be willing to pay that premium.
Feel free to PM, email or give me a call if you have more questions about Rumbux Adventure Products. I import the full line, but mainly do so as demand is present. I don't stock product as I am a one man show. I place orders nearly every month with a 6 week lead time between when I order and when customers receive their products. Phone is in my sig line. email is in my profile.
