i am going to be buying a new 300 EX and i am wondering if the skid plate that comes with the atv is ok or should i get better protection. also would i need a aftermarket swingarm plate.do i need any thing else for undercarriage protection.
what company and products do you guys recomend thanks, Mac

 

seems like everyone around here likes prms products thats what i'll be going with when that time comes....

The stock swingarm skids are crap.I have seen stronger pepsi cans.PRM,RAD,armadillo all make beefy guards.I have the RAD swingarm on ours.6061 alum 1/4 thick.Strong as hell.Holes were a little off though but easy to fix.I have heard some good reviews on Maier's plastic belly skids.I am considering them over aluminum ones.

 

thanks guys for the info on the skid plates. i will check out those companys. thanks again, Mac

 

I purchased a Armadillo Swing-arm skid. I love it! Mounted right up no problems !! I made a body skid out of 8 Gauge (.128) alum. That worked great, plus it was free !! I need to drill a hole for the oil plug though !! Doing that today actually.
Good luck !!

I'll probably purchase both the swing arm and body skid plates from PRM, but I am going to make my own A-arm plates.
