Hello Everyone,

Can you please tell me if the following prices are resonable for factory Kawasaki Skid Plates:

A-arms for $55 KVF650-020
The front skid for $69 KVF650-021
The Middle for $79 KVF650-022
Swing Arm Skid $75 KVF650-023

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Retail price on these 4 items is $350, the dealer quoted you $278 for all 4. I'd consider that a good deal.
A question of my own - does anyone have the swingarm skidplate and what do you think of it?

 

Iron Bear,

I had to get a new A arm for my P650 due to a collision with an Oak tree. It also fully taco'd the Rim. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I was able to get the A arm for $36.35 and the Rim for $52.00. Noelle at M.R. Cycle and Marine (828) 277-8600 was very helpful. I found that the Factory Skid plates were about as good as using doubled up aluminun foil! I went with a High Density Poly Ethelene Skid plate from a Canadian company and I am very happy with it. It was $119.00 and has held up extremely well. It actually slides over rocks at times which is helpful. I hope this helps.

Regards,

FastEd

 

The best skid plate I've seen for the P650 is the one High Lifter offers. It's a one piece deal that covers the entire front 1/2 of the bike. I got the kit with the front bash plate that gives some extra protection in the front not to mention doesn't look bad either. The skid plate fits perfect, is 3/16 solid alum., and seems to block a lot of debris from getting to the engine area that the factory plates don't. They are not the cheapest out there but are worth the money IMO. Check em out - Here is the link.
I still have the factory swing arm skid plate and have never had an issue with it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I love my ricoche plate. it is about 2 1/2 foot long so it covers front and middle very well. it only cost me 99.00 and you can get it from www.rockymountainatv.com

 

I have the factory front plate and a arm plates. The a arm plates bent easy and are hard to straighten out. No problem with the other one.

 

proarmor is one of our preferred vendors. Check out their lineup at www.proarmor.com

 

I did not think that ProArmor has skidplates for the 650

 

IronBear--- Did you get prices for the STOCK plates? Is that what you are calling factory skid plates?

 

Trx450,

These prices are for the aftermarket Kawasaki Aluminum Skid Plates.
