Anyone have the guard made by dycorp-dg it's made out of a composite material, They state it will fend off rocks and return to original shape. I have also heard PRM and Armadillo makes great aluminum guards. Just can't decide which one to buy.

I have used PRM skids, they are very high quality, very well made, and very easy to install.

PRM all the way..... I used them of two bikes out of three that I have.

Don't even think of buying DG at all.... They will bend to hell if you used it.
After one race it was toast to **** big time.

I use the PRM Swing Arm skid plate. It is awesome! Made of 1/4-inch thick T6061 aluminum. It is built like a tank, and reasonably priced. I have hit rocks that where embedded in the ground, and hit them hard, and the PRM skid did not bend. It has scrapes and groves from taking big hits, but it hasn't bent yet, and it does an outstanding job of protecting what it is supposed to. Buy it, you wont regret it.

Don't get a plastic skid.I don't buy that they will go back to shape.Plus take their plastic skid and an aluminum one,tie them both to the back of your truck and drive around town for a few days. Witch one do you think will have more material left on it? Or even easier put both of them up agaist a bench grinder.Witch one last's longer? I'll vote for the aluminum[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
