Hello, I was wondering who makes a swingarm skidplate with a hole in it for a 2" tow ball for a KFX 700. I seen a picture of one on this fourm but I need the name of the company who makes it. The reason I need this is I want to buy a swing arm skidplate and i want to put a hitch on it too, but I dont think you can mount both of them without having a problem. The reason for the tow ball is so I can use my LOUISIANA GUARD DOG. http://www.laguarddog.com Thanks for any Info.

 

I think the Prairie700 towhitch will bolt right up to the Vforce700 rear end....If I'm not mistaken, they are the same unit....rear ends that is...

My buddy bought the Kawasaki Swingarm skid plate for his VForce.....and the last trip out to the desert about three weeks ago, he smashed his skid on a rock, and it broke the skid plates mounting brackets clean off the skid plate......But it was better that then the rear end....

Anyway the P700 tow hitch mount bolts right on both machine ( I beleive). and it will really turn your rear end into a yet even more solid chunk of metal.....and provide mounting points for skid plate and tow ball....

 

The Prairie trailer hitch will bolt up directly to the V rear end, BUT I don't think you can use any aftermarket swingarm skidplate with the Prairie trailer hitch.

 

I mounted up a set of Ricochet skid no problem, bolted right up, hitch presented no problem.

 

That's good. The other manufacturers say theirs won't fit with the trailer hitch. How do you like the Ricochet swingarm plate?

 

Seems to work pretty well....I went on an extreme ride in Nevada 4 weeks ago, and bashed the crap out of everything we rode....
Swingarm plate held up well....I can also tell you my buddy on his KFX700 broke his Kawasaki swingarm skid completely off. The mounting brackets broke at their welds.... but it saved his swingarm...

Whatever you get, get the thickest units they sell....
