swing arm skidplate

Who makes the best one? Ive heard PRM is the best ,what do you guys and gals think.My stamped steel one is really getting beat up.

Can't comment on PRM skids but they make good bumpers. I run OMF skids from front to back and they are great.

I run AC on mine and I love them. They have held up great so far. If I was to get different skids, I would get the Pro-Tect skids. They make the swingarm skid out of Stainless steel. Their full body skid is 1/8" thick aluminum. I would get these.

AC skids are junk. Dont waist your money. If you ride a ex then you know how low the rear clearance is. Any thing you put on the swing arm is gonna take a terrible beating. And aluminum is a flawed design for this kind of service duty. Spend the extra dough and get the steel one. If the weight of the steel is a concern, then find other ways of shaving weight from other places on your machine to compansate for the weight of the steel plate.

Prm is the way to go I have one on my 300 and it is strong!:D

I have a PRM swing arm skid plate on my 86 350X. It's been on there for at least 6 or 7 years. I got it from PRM when they first opened. I have one on my 400EX and my buddy has one on his 300EX. I had one on my 86 ATC250R, both my 89 Quadracer 500's, my 85 200X, and my first 86 350X. I had a OMF $125.00 Desert skid plate on the 400EX, and it was all twisted up after a couple of rides. It had a warrenty, so I sent it back and got a refund. It was a nice looking skid plate, but it bent up easier than aluminum siding. The PRM stuff is not the best looking skid plate, but it will take a serious *** kicking. I'd like some more info on that stainless skid. I heard it's heavy. Stainless steel is very hard to bend. If it won't bend, I don't mind the added weight. I live and ride in CT, lots of rocks. I ride in PA, also. Lots of rocks there, too. What ever you do, DO NOT buy a DG plate. Big piece of $H#T.
