I only ride maybe once a month.. anyone have any suggestions I'm not looking to spend that much $$$$$ My main question --- do they make a skid plates for +2 +1 a-arms i know that i seen them on a bike [NOT A BANSHEE] on the internet but know i cant find it..... anyone know where i can get these????? this is very important due to the riding area in NY I heard something about GYTR but cannot find them anywhere!!!! wacko2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brilei5 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I do mostly GNCC type riding. Fast Tight Trails. I went with +2+1 to get the adjustibility and 4/1 offset wheels so its not Too wide. Now I am concerned about tearing up the lower arms. The skids on my stock set up saved my ass a few times, and a couple extra pounds is worth the piece of mind.IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I took the stock ones I had and rebent them to fit my +2 arms, wasnt fun and the metal is probably a little weaker now.....but it worked. They arent armadillo....there the other big name....cant remember off hand. There the ones with the shock linkage protection on the swingarm skids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
