Which Skids To Get?

[pork917]

I have an '05 400Ex and am stuck on what skid plates to get. I do mostly sand and dirt riding, nothing too serious like racing. I want to buy chasis & swingarm skids & a-arm guards.;

C&D recommended me the PRM skids and they look good to me, but I have also heard AC's and others are good. Price is also a big factor, so what is really the best protection for the money? From what I saw on Parts Direct & CD the PRM'S are more expensive than the AC's, but I can afford them, Just not sure which are better. I appreciate any advice!

i think maier makes some that are plastic. really hard stuff that will make you 'slide' over obstacles instead of scrape and scarr up your metal ones. pretty cheap if i remember.

You can't go wrong with PRM..;)

[pork917]

i guess ill go with the prm's.
no word on the ac's anyone?

[parkers30]

the AC's just dont comare to the PRM's

PRMs are all I run, guaranteed fit the first time

prm is alot heavier duty but i have all ac on my 05 400 and love them i ride alot of rocky areas and so far no problems,i hope this helps,moto man has really good prices on ac products.

ac is the s**t...best crap out there

Go with PRM or Pro Armor. AC skids are just plain weak in comparison, not to mention the lousy fitment. Go compare the two products side by side thats what I did, the choice will be easy. PRM or Pro Armor and you can't go wrong. I ended up going with Pro Armor simply because all 3 items came out to a cheaper price. Make sure to get the .190 A-Arm/Chassis and .250 swingarm for PRM. Pro Armor those are the standard sizes :macho

Oh I have an 05 400ex also BTW and I have unearthed some boulders as I ride in extremely rocky terrain. My skids are holding up awesome.

thanks everyone, just ordered the PRM's along with some other stuff, ac pro peg ners, kn with outerwears, and a p-brake blockoff. C&D I ordered from, they are great people over there. Especially since I was calling like everyday asking about the skids LOL.

PRM all the way. Much better built, and will fit perfect. Plus the full chassis has more mounting spots. I had AC before, they are junk compared to the PRM...
