What's a good, stronge, lightweight or not enough weight to notice handling differnce skid plat to replace that easily bent stock one? I do jumping and MX type riding so I guess that a full chassis one might be good if a landed on a rock or something? What do most of you run for that type riding?

Most MX riders don't bother with skids. If you decide to get some go with PRM.

Whatever you do , don't get DG i have them on my 400ex , and the swingarm skidplate is bent to **** , the belly skid vibrates like crazy , and i guess the a-arm skids are the only good part.

If you want a light weight belly skid then i would go wiht the Maier skid. It is super light and does a great job. I havnet changed my swingarm skid yet but when I do it will be A.C.

Get an ac swing arm skidplate. I have one on my 300 and I does the job well. I also have a maier belly skidplate. It is one of the best investments I have made on my wheeler........ no more cornstalks in the motor!!! It also helps me slide through the snow and over the snow pile better. Winter is one of my favorite times to ride, so the skidplates are a blessing.

AC is getting the win from me. Its nice to have some aftermarket skids, cause the stockers get clogged with mud in the holes in it.
As far as construction of AC goes, its good stuff.I have yet to bend it.
