bluebanshee98 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 i hooked up with jds over the phone and i would like to announce that he now has available a arm guards/skid plates for +2+1 a arms. these skid plates are for lone star sport style a arms, not long travel. i believe they will fit on other a arms that are +2+1 that are not long travel. when i get some more free time im going to bring them over to my buddys house that has some different brand name +2+1 a arms and see if they mount up and i will come back with more feedback and pics. one of my friends has full flight arms and my other friend has a no name brand so we will see what happens. these skid plates will work perfect for lone star sport style +2+1 a arms. the price is $300 shipped. it includes skid plates, all hardware for mounting and your choice of powder coat color. finally there is skid plates for +2+1 a arms! i believe many people will benefit from this product. keep your a arms in good condition, prevent dents and destroying your arms. i would much rather buy a set of skid plates and have a good piece of mind then having to worry or go buy new arms and go through the whole process of installing again. save money and have a good piece of mind. the skids are made out of 5052 aluminum. the plates are .125 and the brackets are .5" . they seem very sturdy. there is flaps that go up in front and in back of the a arm for maximum protection. i went with silver powdercoat. below are pics. i would like to thank john at JDS for a great product. i am not making these skid plates, jds is making them. i am just sharing them with the bansheehq community. hit up jds for your a arm guards.

fappy'97 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Wow, nice. Very clean looking fitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge1 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Good god! Finally, someone made these to fit aftermarket arms! Nice looking product! I hope to get these for my a arms. JD might consider making a recessed dimple for the mounting bolts to prevent them from being sheared off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Thanks a lot for the detailed write up! This was a fun project and I think they will serve you very well for years to come. There really isnt enough material to countersink, I think the button heads will work well for you. I could make them from .250" material and countersink for a flat head bolt but I really dont think that thick of material is desired.. I am also not setup for making dimples, so we will just have to see how this works! $300 shipped for the pair including stainless mounting hardware and rubber to protect your arms. Hopefully the list of what arms these will fit will grow int he near future... Id have to thik they will fit just about ny +2 arm out there. -JD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wertzy Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Any chance of getting a set to fit the Alba Gullwing +2+1 arms? I know they have a funky design lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Get some pics up of the lower arms (overhead view) and some measurements of the left outside and right outside of the arm in 3 spots ( closest to the frame near the bolts, middle of arm and near the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wertzy Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Soon as I get them in the mail I will get some pictures and some measurements. Another question... How come the mounting screws weren't countersunk? The plates not thick enough to do so? I can see the heads of those screws getting chewed up bad by rocks and shit...

bluebanshee98 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Update: went to my buddys house with some no name brand +2+1 a arms and went to another friends with some full flight a arms and mounted up the skids. the skid plates work great on both these arms. so thats 3 arms total so far. these skids seem universal and should work with a bunch of other arms due to how the design is. i do not know the name of the first set of arms. i have seen some people on this forum selling a set of these though.
