BansheeBrian Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Hillshooting with a skid plate can be a pain in wet sand or gravel. Just as you're about to make it over that 10ft lipper you drag that skid plate and slow down right when you need that speed to pop you over the top. I run a plate just to protect whats necessary.

AVBANSHEE03 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I GOT THE FULL BODY PLATE, A-ARMS AND REAR. IT DOES LET YOU RIDE MORE CONFIDENT EVEN THOUGH I STILL AM CAUTIOUS. BUT TO RACE MY MECHANIC SAYS I SHOULD TAKE THEM OFF BECAUSE THEY TRAP AIR. BUT FOR TRAILS I LOVE THEM. GYT-R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 Guess its mostly dependant on where you ride. Folks in the dunes can probably get away with dropping theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILO Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 maybe for the dunes, but you definitely need one on trails/in the woods. i'm cautious about dragging and hitting rocks and stuff, but it's still taken a beating. i'd rather trash a $70 skid over months and months of riding, than risk destroying my chain/sprocket and rotor every time i go out. i got tossed over the bars once when i had my blaster cuz the stocker got hung up on a small tree stump. i'll never go without a swing arm skid again.

Banshee Roost Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 I have the A/C Racing rear skid plate. Works great for me since I ride woods trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
