they are worth it... just a couple times out on the trails and my swing arm skid plate is cracked and has pieces hanging off and pieces missing... get a aluminum one.. Im buying one as soon as I get some money.. a arm guards I wouldnt worry about.. I dont think they look good and ur a arms are higher than ur swing arm and ur break and chain and sprocket are kinda important.

A-arms are the weak point on your quad. If you ride a lot of trails, spend the money for the a-arms. They minght not prevent you from damaging the a-arm or tie rod if you hit something solid, but they will reduce the damage and maybe save you from walking out of the woods.

buy a REALYL thick swingarm guard before you buy ANY other protection. I'm speaking from experience here. I recently discovered after hitting a few rocks that my swingarm guard was bent and has been rubbing against my brake rotor AND chain/sprocket and there are actually groves from this.

Has anyone installed protection plates themselves??? If so, was it hard or relatively easy??? After reading the above, i will be ordering swing arm and a arm guards, should i get the full skid plate as well??? Thanks for any feedback [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
