What Skid Plates

[honda8&3]

I am getting a new set of skid plates soon and was wondering what mfg i should get. My choices were DG, AC Racing, Cobra's, and maybe pro armors but they don't have a full set for the honda 250x/300ex? What do u guys got? Please post pics if you have any.

Also front bumper Pictures.

you can mix and match skids...i have prm swinger and chassis skids, along with mmf a-arm skids on my 450r and the 400ex has riccochet a-arm and chassis skids with an armadillo swinger skid...

What kind of riding do you mostly do?

If trails, go with a thicker (i suggest .25'' thick) swinger skid and like 3/16'' i think for the chassis skid. i had these on my 05z400, i had PRM skids, loved them, plus they cover your rear linkage, which a lot of other companies' skids dont.

If you do more mx, then i suggest going with a lighter, less heavy duty one.

What went wrong with your DG's? I like my a-arm skids. Also my armadillo chassis skid.;)

[JBacon]

fine enough for me...

[procircuit406ex]

Its bent up so bad I cant get a socket or nothing in there to tighten the bolts back up...theres only 2 holding it on there so Im just waiting for it to rip off next time I go ride and I cant buy another one right now because I dont have the money. I ripped the whole chain side off of it and didnt know it till a buddy of mine said whoa thats a weird skid plate I figured it would cover the whole chain and I kinda looked and him weird and sure enough when I got off and looked it was all gone...I figure the whole thing or the rotor side is next:ermm:

[procircuit406ex]

Look how frickin low it hangs:cuss:

[honda8&3]

Why don't you just buy new PRMS. there only like 350 shipped!:D

[procircuit406ex]

Because I work for my parts..:ermm:

[honda8&3]

So don't I. I bought everything that is on my quad and everything that is gonna get put on this summer.:huh I've had a job for over a year now and work anytime I can day and night.

[JBacon]

Well, I actually wish I had a job. I want the cash for so many parts on my 250ex, but its hard to find a job when your 14....:mad: :cuss: :grr:

Well when your 14 and the only jobs you get are carpenty on the side, its kind of hard to come across money.

There is only one brand that will ever come close to any machine that I ever own, and that is PRM.


I had an AC plate that ripped off just like the one in a previous post. Junk. DG-junk.

PRM is where it's at when it comes to skidplates.

[Cotton26]

Can't go wrong with PRM or Armadillo.

[Eviltanker]

I got Proarmor, I also installed Armadillo for some customers. I'm not saying they are the only plates out there and you should only by them. They do hold up well in Pa's rocky conditions.

[CrewCab]

This is Armadillo frame and Pro Armor A-arm skids I just installed.

My vote is always for PRM. I run them on a couple of quads and they are great. Hold up really well, look good ... can't go wrong.
