bones Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) Has anyone ever tried it or heard of it ? I have an all black '06 shee and want this because it's black. The Durablue Hammer Swingarm guard is constructed from an exclusive lightweight, rigid urethane compound. Takes abuse and shows less impact damage than aluminum swingarm guards. http://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDet...odFamilyId=1077 Ps.. How do you edit the topic?

I like the idea of the HIP skid plate. If your are out in trails that are jagged and rocky, you probably need to be looking for a stainles steel unit. IF you are in the sand or rarely need the protection of a skid plate then I would definitely give that Durablue unit a try. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullet Man Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) i dont have one but thats the one i will be acquiring. why would you want stainless over this on rocky terrain? and why stainless over aluminum? this one would be better in rock then sand IMO. durablue guard would either bend/flex and return to shape or or break off at the damage area. steel would bend/flex and stay put and could be jambed into your sprocket (possibly causing chain breakage and even worse, possibly case crack because of chain break) or rotor damage. either could really cause that tho but i would think the chain/sprocket would chew thru the urethane piece before it broke off. sand would erode the urethane piece quicker then a steel guard. plus the urethane has a much better price tag. probably just talking out of my ass!

2005 banshee Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I have it and love it. Works great. I run over all the rocks in central PA, and havn't had one issue with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the rocks, I would take a stainless steel plate over an aluminum plate for several reasons. The first is that if you bend a stainless steel plate, you can bend it back without fracturing the plate. The stainless steel material has greater impact and abrasion resistance as well as a having better elastic properties. The compromise here is that the steel unit will weigh more. I think a proper sid plate made out of HDPE will actually last longer in the sand than Aluminum or Stainless Steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
