Wheres a good place to buy a swing Arm Skid for a Blaster
OEM new is pretty expensive!
I dont like the aftermarket ones,to me they look like they wouldSCOOP up dirt and debris and prefer the stock design.
Is thera place like ServiceHonda for Yamaha parts for a better price ? I have ckecked Ebay, lost bid on the one I wanted, the others looked in poor shape.
thanks!

really? what about hitting the rotar?? We have had an aftermerket one and it eventually hit it and had to replace it. I wish I could find one like the 450r stock one or a durablue and save some weight , I like the plastic ones better.

Ok Bradley, out of EVERYTHING out there, what do you think is the best designed one?:p
Ive seen some of them for 140.00!!:eek2:

Bradley, I just went and looked at the PRM one, Im sorry but I do not like that design at all. I appreciate the info though!! ;)

So what about OEM? Any place to purchase for better prices than direct?

We have had 2 aftermarket ones, both do not clean themselves out as well,thats why we want to go with the stock style ;)

you can probably get a used stocker pretty cheap. i know its one of the first things alot of people take off.

If we HAVE TO go aftermarket, I will most likely get an AC,not too fond of that idea but its about as close as I can find aside of OEM for what we wanted.

thanks anyhow!
