Swingarm plate- anyone make one yet?

[2old2race]

I am still looking for a swingarm plate to replace the cheap tubing that came on my son's 90.
I don't have the skills to fabricate and may just end up taking the entire quad to a weld shop to have something fabricated.
Has anyone found a manufacturer yet? Will the Predator 90 plates work?

Thanks.

I cut 3 of the 4 mounts off and made my own tabs raising it about an inch. Welded in inch wide 1/8" thick stock to make it solid. Also had to widen it about a half inch to get it raised. Holding up pretty good so far. If I have to pull it off again I will wrap the bottom of the rails with a cut up stock yamaha skid I have.

Yep. I just had one made yesterday, picked it up this morning.
$100. Looks like something Pro Armour would have made.
1/4" thick aluminum- very heavy duty.

We shall see how it holds up this weekend.

Funny thing is they said the tubular steel would have held up much better had it been solid and not hollowed.

I think they are all hollow even the big quads. They are just thicker walled. The outlaw tube is thin. I can see why it crushes. I though about buying a blaster alum skid and modifing it to fit. I decided against it since I would have money into it plus still my time. Do you know how much ground clearance you got out of it yet. The stock one is a joke though. Mine was only on with 3 bolts and an inch from the chain/drum.

I'll take a picture of it this weekend and post. Don't know why I didn't do that yet?

I had them keep it about an inch away from the drum and sprocket. that way I can get my hand in there to pull the mud out.

It is pretty heavy duty. Can't wait to see how it holds up to my son bashing it over the rocks.

Yea that looks like it will hold up. The way its rolled should keep the sides from bending up which is another reason I didn't use a blaster skid.
