Default '09 Sportsman 800 Touring Armour

Anybody got any good reviews on skid plates, boot protectors, etc for the '09 Sportsman 800 touring? Checked Ricochet and Armour Pro, didn't see anything for the 2009 year.

Did your machine not come with a full skid plate from the factory already ?

What are you referring to as "factory"? Do you have a removable skid plate?

No it's not removable it's welded on from the factory its part of the frame and it takes a good beating Most Polaris ATVs don't need any addition skid protection over stock I've got now 7400 miles on my 08 and not once did I ever need any more protection .

I do understand what the "factory" plate is, and yes it takes a beating as you say, I had 5700 miles on my '07 800 X2 and the bottom showed it. That is why I am looking for some additional protection like available on the '10 XP 850's
