The skid plate would work well if it would fit the motor mounts but I don't think it does. Is that a steel skid plate or aluminum? I looked on that site and all I saw was a gold aluminum one, not that black one. Even if it doesn't fit, it might could be altered to fit. A good welding shop could do it.

That looks to be a Chinese clone of the Honda CT70 engine. They bolt into the frame from the top and rear of the gearcase. Is that how this one mounts?
If so, I don't think you want to mount it from the bottom.
