Who makes the best full skid plate for a 2000
Forman 450s. I just picked it up and dont want the frame getting beat up on rocks. Also is it normal for the Stainless Steel exhaust to turn purple and blue after only a few hours of riding?
Does anyone make a true selectable locking front diff for the 450, I hate the wheel spinning in the air and the one on the ground not moving, not a very good "limited slip" diff. I would also like to run in 2x4 when not mudding. Dont say I should have bought a SP500.

Hi try ALLTERAIN CHARLEY for the ARMORDILLO PLASTIC SKID PLATE,I just got done bolting mine on my 2000 Rancher 4x4 ES It is only $85 US and I think it is alot better than Alum alot less noise and wont bend or deform and wont feel the shock when you go over stuff go check it your self.

 

Skrew the plastic ones, man. Get the one off HIGHLIFTER.COM

 

COME TALK TO ME WHEN THAT ALUM IS ALL BENT UP LIKE A POP CAN!!AND SOUND LKE ONE TO WHEN YOU GO OVER STUFF TO!!

 

Had the Maier belly plate on my 450ES. It held up great! For the money, it's more than enough protection. I've slammed mine on rocks and logs, and all it got was a few scratches.

 

I just put 400 miles on my Honda in some of the most rugged riding conditions I have rode in yet.I have a Highlifter skidplate and it performed great, it did not bend at all. I would go with the aluminum because I dont know if plastic could hold up to the abuse that aluminum will.

 

www.highlifter.com has a good alum skidplate and a front dif. locker


450s olive

 

just wondering . how do u know how many miles you have riden?

 

The 450 has an odometer in it's digital instrumentation.
