Review of Maier plastic skid plates for the 400EX
(written by Hedgehog400ex)
I recently bought the Maier Plastic skid plates and A-arm guards. The
fit is really good and they look quite nice as well. The cost is $103.
delivered to the door for the guards and the skid plate. They offer much
better protection than what is there stock form, which is nothing.
The installation on the skid plate was a snap. It slides right under
the front bumper and then attaches with clamps on the frame. They do come
with two drain holes which will make changing the oil a snap and just as
easy as without them.
Now the A-arm guards proved to be a pain. It was a little tough to get
them lined up so the clamps would clamp down on there good. You have to
drill the plastic, but they do provide indentations right where the holes
need to go and that was easy as well. The only problem I had with that was
that I did have to widen a couple of the holes to get them to line up right.
The cost of these compared to some of the aluminum products is much
cheaper and they are holding up well so far. Additionally Maier has a 1
year warranty against breakage. I would reccomend these skid plates to
anybody who wants protection but doesn't want to pay the big $$ for the DG
or some of the other aluminum products.
Bugs in my teeth!
