Default Skid Plates for P650

Where is a good place to pick up a bottom skid plate, a rear differential plate, and a-arm guards?

How difficult is the Ricochet to install and what tools are required? Does the skid plate have to be removed to change fluids? What is the easiest way to access the underside of the quad?

It's not hard at all to put on..... you gotta take off the old skid plates and the new skid plate mounts where the old one was. I know you need a 5mm allen wrench. No the skid plate doesn't have to be removed to change any of the fluids (Pre cut out slots or holes for drain plugs, oil filter, etc.) They say to stand it straight up and put them on but i just pulled the front of mine up on car ramps and then jacked up the back end. I think it took me about 45 minutes to take off the old skid plates and put the new ones back on..... keep in mind i got the full set (A arms, middle, and rear)

I would highly recommend this skid plate to anyone who is looking to replace the stock skid plates. I paid 245.00 from utahsportcycle.com that's includeing shipping.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

2003650,
Do you have to remove the hitch, or does it fit with it on? I was going to get the Ricoche plates, but heard something about having the remove the hitch.

Thanks

No the hitch and ball (if you have one) can stay on....they send directions with the skid plates. Not hard at all to put on.... kinda time consumeing but well worth it!!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
