I was thinking about buying the PRM a-arm plates for my 2000 400ex. Do you guys/gals think I should bother with them since the a-arms rarely get hit if at all. I am choosing PRM because I have their bumper and frame plate and am very very happy with their products!!

I have PRM's desert bumper on my 2000 400ex. It fits great and looks it too. On their website the desert bumper is not listed for the 400ex because I had orginaly ordered the baja. They must have changed their baja to desert or something.

I am after having an $800.00 incident with a rock. The plates would have saved me. Yes there worth it.

How would A-arm plates save you $800?

I ran my left a-arms into a 6 inch diameter tree. The a tie rod, upper and lower a-arms were less than $100 from Western Honda.

I have a set of Ox-Lites on my 96TRX400FW and I love them they save the front CV from getting torn but since you don't have 4x4 its not as important but
protecting them can't be a bad thing I would rather replace a skidplate than dent or bend a A-Frame so I say get them and the front bash plate
comes in handy in the rocks and the belly plate well all I could say is look at the undercarrage of a atv that runs in the rocks without one they are pretty beat. I wouldn't ride without the skid plates.
