Does anybody have any suggestions for which brand of swingarm guard to buy? I finally ripped the stock one off riding through a swamp.

 

a root ripped mine off, anyways i bought a moose or baja (i can't rember now i think it was moose but in the picture mine looks more like the baja), out of dennis kirk and it is awsome, The only bad part is to install you have to remove your rear brake calaper to get this one bolt on. Otherwise it workes great. It is thick and there are good welds on it.

 

Does any have the swing arm skid made by Kawasaki? I am thinking of getting this one because I have a Kawasaki card so I could order it soon.

 

I got the PRM-ATV skids. I think they are the best skids I've ever seen. I also believe the way the rear skid bolts up has saved my swing arm.

It is a big thick skid. It bolts to the rear of the swing arm where the original 2 bolts were. On the front you have another piece that rest above the swing arm and 2 bolts come from below at the skid then up threw the other top piece. This puts a sandwitch type preasure on your swing arm.

I've hierd of many racers cracking the mojave/lakota swing arms, mine to date has no cracks. Man have I abused that thing too.

 

I run DG baja skids on mine and they work real well

I have the Kawasaki aluminum guard.It doesn't cover all of the disc or sprocket,it stops about 1/2 way into them leaving the rear exposed to rocks.

It is made of very strong aluminum,stronger stuff than the aftermarket guy's use.I have bent it untill it hits the disk.Had to take it off and use a sledge to straighten it.

 

Hey gaff,

do you have any pics os your skid plate?

do you know where i can purchase one other than the prm web site?

 

I have an Armadillo skid and would recomend them to anyone looking. It Is made of .250 aluminum while a lot of them are .160 or .190, it was also quite a bit cheaper than the other ones I found. I bought it from Rocky mountain atv I also noticed that they now cary another brad &quot;Richochett&quot; or something like that and they are supposed to be .190 thick also. The only thing I don't like is that it sticks down about an inch lower than the crappy stock ones, but it has never bent or anything and I have pounded it pretty good on some rocky trails.
