carbon fiber skidplate

[ATC350X 85]

Does anyone know who makes the carbon fiber chassis skidplates for an 04 450R? I saw em on ebay, but it was a while back.

quadtech does

[OKTRX450R]

Yep, Quadtec...not on their website though...anyone carrying Quadtec products can get them...

I have a quadtech glide plate. Great quality like all their stuff.

There is one on ebay right now......84.99 plus 15.51 shipping...I have talked to this guy and seems knowledgeable.....I asked him about one for an 06 cause the one he sells on ebay are for the 04-05's.....and the drain holes are different....But I am not sold on the carbon cause I am not sure if it will hold up to XC riding.....does anyone have any info on this subject...thanks in advance

Wow!..carbon fiber is cool but i always thought it was too expensive for me. But i can afford this.. i like

i got one off of e-bay. i prolly spent 2 hour trying to get it on last friday night and its still not done yet.... i would stay away from them or go with the quadtech...... the plate itself seems alright but the way it is mounted is just not working out......when i get it mounted (whenever that is) i will try and post some pics

[Lonestar_R]

what is wrong with the mounting points or process.....don't any of the holes line up or what...let me know......but I am really undecided on the standard aluminum or the carbon fiber.....I ride all XC and trails....and I don't know if it will hold up...

[450Redrider5]

yeah thats exactly what i was wondering cause i kno carbon fiber is real strong but would it hold up for xc races and hard trail riding?

[XCRACER26]

I have heard quad tech hoods shatering from rocks. I will stick with my Moose skid plate

[jeepnrocks]

I don't know about carbon fiber protecting my undercarriage. i could be wrong but i could just see it geting destroyed pretty easily.

[ATC350X 85]

Anybody tried the heavy duty plastic one that Maier has out?

[jeepnrocks]

havent seen that one yet

[quad2xtreme]

armordillo makes them too but I am not sure they have one yet for the 450r.

I decided just to stick with aluminum, i got an armadillo, best bang for the buck.

[450RGNCC]

the carbon fiber would definitely shatter if it got hit too hard on the trail, i would imagine that it would be okay for motocross applications, but not for a trail bike

[ATC350X 85]

I mainly ride in sand, but on occassion we head up to PA out in coal country, i think the aluminum one will with stand some bashing.
