I've got the GYT-R rear swing skids and after nailing a large rock it put enough stress on the stock bolts to shear one and bend the other..Originally posted by Badger_Skid@Oct 16 2003, 03:53 AM
Badger Racing Products sells a very nice Stainless Steel skidplate for the YFZ450, Chad Duvall has been running it since he switched from the Honda and has very good results. Their belly pans are stainless as well.
Stainless is the way to go if doing any woods riding, they hold up very well.
The problem with the factory bolts is that they are bolting on a piece a plastic and when the plastic bends the bolts do not and they end up getting sheared off. I believe that the hardness of the bolts could have something to do with it as well.
Drop me an email and I'll get you in contact of who to talk to.
