I just ordered my stainless swingarm skid from Pro-Tec. I called to see if one was available, I talked to the owner he said that he had the prototype done , and would start production next week. He told me that mine would ship next Wed. I asked if it would hurt ground clearance, and he said no. He said that DG's skids looked like snow shovel's by comparision.
Price 130.00 + 12.00 Shipping
Still 45 beans less that the Yamaha piece.
I will post some pics as soon as I get it.
See Ya, Drew

guess what!!

My Raptor was the prototype for pro-tect. It was on display at the Ironman last weekend. Pro-tect is the best they mmake all the plates for the GNCC pros. The cool thing is I get all my skids for free since they used mine as a prototype.

here are pics of it on display at the ironman.

Would you recommend the stainless over the GYT rear skidplate? Any complaints with stainless one? Can you send pictures?
