LOL, I hear ya Bro! I bought an AC aluminum skip months back and I'm sick of prying the dang thing away from my sprockett and rotor. I ordered a plastic one made by Dura Blue and I'm picking it up tonite........................I'll be trying it out this weekend.......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Plastic? I'll be ready for a report on that one.

 

Man, I don't know..........this thing looks kind of chimpsy. I sure as he!! hope its tougher than it looks............... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

So how'd the plastic special work out?

 

So far- so good! I only had it out a couple of times so far. It took some hits but still in one peice. I figure with it being cold it would'nt last this long.

 

Protec stainless is the best way to go in my opinion. Had one on the Raptor after demolishing an aluminum one. Had 3 brands on the 400exs and demolished all of them too. You can only beat them back into shape so many times. Now, all the 400exs have the Protec. If you do have a 400ex though, ask them to put another piece of stainless on the portion where it mounts to the back of the swingarm. Otherwise, it will eventually bend around the mounts since they look like threaded sockets sticking down from the swingarm.

Riding at Hatfield McCoy and hitting rocks 4th and 5th gear and I haven't demolished one of these yet.
