The Ricochets actually came with foot plates. Yeah the skids took a beating in MA. Most of the trails in Jackman are more of the Snooze and Cruise variety. Not too much technical riding but very picturesque. Although I was crossing a river and the front end floated up and when the water level came back down I was balanced on my skids on a rock! That kinda sucked but was very comical to watch (Or so I'm told).

The Grizz runs great. I read somewhere online that top speed is only 43 mph but I got her up to 56 mph. Keeping up with my buddy's 07 Honda Rincon 700 pretty well.

Fastest I have gotten my Grizz 450 up to 52mph... quick enough for me since I am not a cruise and snooze type of person... I'd rather be in the rocks!

 

It was a test drive on pavement after cleaning the clutch from MA clay! Buried her up to the racks in mud and clay. I heard that... I am more of a mudder myself but I have been know to steer towards a rock pile in my time!

 

http://www.denniskirk.com sells skid plates and various a-arm and cv shaft protectors as well.

I am having some trouble finding skids for my 08 Grizzly. I have seen prices anywhere from $250 to $550. I am fairly new to ATVing (At least having to maintain my own) and need assistance. [img][/img]</end quote></div>
I recommend Ricochet with the floorboard skids. They are pretty nice.

 

I got the Ricochet with Floorboard skids. They have been great! No complaints at all. Thanks for all the advise!!!
