Armadillo Off Road is making bumpers and full skid plates for those. I think the skid plates are .190" Aluminum, real tough units and they fit right.

You may want to stay w/ the stock skid plate. The plastic will absorb most of the energy. The aluminum skid plate will conduct the energy to the swingarm, which can be damaged easily. I had problems w/ my yfz450 and I heard many stories. Either way here is a good site on parts..... http://www.atvparts.biz/page20yz426.html

Diablo,

Thanks,
You guys should have seen some of the riding spots over there.... To bad the country is full of land mines. Everytime we'd fly I'd be like... "damn, wish I had my quad."
