2000 DS 650

Thinking about getting ProArmor Frame & Swingarm skidplates. What nerfbars will work w/ these w/o major modification? Rocky Mountain has ProArmor nerfs listed, but ProArmor doesn't make them for DS 650 yet (if ever).

Also, ProArmor's A-Arms skids won't fit on 2000. Next best choice?

 

if your good with a grinder you can make the chassis skid fit, thats wat i did, only took about a half our, just notched where my nerf bar mount is, also the a-arm skids will fix, you just hafta bend one piece, a 30 sec job wit a rubber mallet

 

So, a-Arm will fit 2000 w/ a rubber mallet?? Boltholes line up?

 

Anyone know for sure on these A Arms

 

Proarmors a-arm plates fit my 2000 and 2001 just fine.

 

ProArmor says they don't??[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

well its not a 100% direct bolt up, so thats probably why they are telling you that, just protecting themselves, if your willing to do a lil bit of work they'll fit great

 

Thats weird mine fit great with no problems.

I am not sure what they are talking about.

I worked with Ray I believe.

I have the stock lowers and ASR uppers.

They bolted on with no mods at all.

 

Got ProArmor swingarm & frame skids in yesterday & installed last night. There IS a trick to the rear swingarm install. The rear bolts can be reached through the brakedisk & chaingear disk. Buy a set of "multi-angle" Allen wrenches. They have a little ball-shaped head on one end designed to allow you to insert into bolt & turn FROM AN ANGLE w/o slipping or rounding out the head. Went right on w/o any major problems. The rear of skid does stick down about an inch from stock, but the protection is worth it.

Frame skid--B4 you start, take stock plastic frame skid off & then you won't have to drill holes in it. ALSO, get an 1" oversize washer for front bolt, as holes in front crossmember (between A-Arm mounts) are larger than included washers. (goes ontop of crossmeber)

BTW, there were instructions included in package from Rocky Mountain. Cheaper than direct also.
