I have one on my bike. The only place I feel is not protected well is the frame rail that the left (pilot's left) foot peg mounts to. This area has seen some abuse on my bike.

I really like the TMD skidplate, the rounded design appeals to me and it seems to be well-constructed.
You do have to remove the pipe to install or uninstall it, e.g. when you remove an engine side-cover. However, I find that taking off the pipe is largely a psychological hindrance! (it doesn't take long). There is a hole for draining the oil, so I don't have to remove it often.
Here's a pic of the water pump side:
The bendix cover protection:
If you need to take off the bendix cover, you don't have to remove the skidplate. Hook one end of a tie down strap to that area of the skidplate (or drill a hole in it for the hook), and the other near the front axle. When you tighten the strap you can pull the skidplate back to reveal and remove the bendix cover.
Another picture of that side:
The area that Jacob was referring to:
All in all, a good product that I would purchase again!
