pick up my new yfz this weekend, I ride trails whats a good skid plate? anyone have the gytr plastic ones?

The gytr black plastic skid looks nice.... i may pick one up.. the good thing about the poly skidders is they slide easy over rocks and ruts...and they are kinda cheap!!

I ordered a gytr poly skid for the frame, and a PRM for the swing arm.. wish they had poly skids for the swing arm too.

gt thunder sells a poly skid in white for the rotor side man.... and a bolt onto sprocket guard for other side in a alum or stainless.

They work best with the skid type front bumpers.

the stock rear skidplates dont hold up that well....i trashed mine yday...ripped everything out on the sprocket side of the skidder.... just ordered the gt thunder stuff for it..

imo PRM and Ricochet are the only skid plates and bumpers made but what do i know i live in western pa and its nothing but rocks!!!!

the composite skids do slide over rocks very well but if it is real rocky like it is around here they dont last! My friend went thru 3 and could have used a 4th this year but he was makin his own so money wasnt an issue!!!

I"m trying the gytr poly skid, see how it does.

I do have a prm rear swinga arm guard. Love PRM stuff!

I decided to go with the gytr poly black skid, the gt thunder outer sprocket guard, and the gt thunder poly brake rotor skid.

Installed them all last nite.. will be abusing it this weekend to see how they do.

if you call powersports store from ebay... and tell them you want a skid cheap...they will sell it 105 shipped for the gytr skidder.
