anyone have any tips or advice on putting ricochet skids on their rides Im putting plates on mine and wondering if anybody has had issues or problems with installs that might save some time? thanks

 

I'd be interested as well, I have a full set of 8 pcs. to install and will be doing it sometime soon too. Tips and words of wisdom appreciated!

 

They will collect mud. Thats the reason I dont have them the clean up is longer with them.

 

The Ricochets are a pretty straight forward install. Rememeber that the smaller hardware uses 2 different sizes of metric hex-head bit on the a-arms. The rest of the machine uses a T-40 torx bit. If you have the bits available on a ratchet it makes things easier, don't overtighten.

If you can stand up the machine on it's rear it will make install much easier, we winched mine up to a steel I-beam support. Make sure you secure the machine.

It will definetly take a bit more to clean the machine but the added protection is worth it. If you have an Atv-Guru Brushguard you will have to slightly bend the front bash plate to fit.

 

Thanks for the heads up on the front bash plate as I do have the Guru's as well.
