    Always run skidplates!! My PRM's take a huge beating!!

    Of course the stock mounts fail and I suggest you all make your own (we'll have another thread on that...) but this is one season of riding on a PRM skidplate, they're pretty thick and hold up great!Then it's the stock mounts that fail........

    Here's mine from the 3fiddyX:





    It take ALLOT of abuse! I love there product and suggest it to everyone..... If you need better mounts, I can make them for you if you have some coin...... My 20 day build shows how I made my own mounts and adapted a 350X skidplate to fit an 86/87 200X because they don't offer that skidplate for sale. Took a bit of thinking but it worked out super!!

    Looks like you have been doing some rock crawling.. The PRM definitely looks like it is doing its job.
    Rides:
    1986 ATC250R (sectional pipe and Klemm Research silencer)
    1986 ATC250R (Desert Bike, WAX-ON seat, Dual Cibie lights, Steering Stabilizer)
    1979 ATC110 (Bandito frame and forks, Turbo wheels, disc braked)
    1982 ATC70 (Lifan manual 125)
    1987 LT80 (piped, widened)

    That's mostly from crossing RR tracks, and riding up in those rocky arse N.H trail systems

    I have one of those prm skid plates and they are a well built unit. I personally favor not running one at all.

    That's what my OMF looks like. Gravel roads do that along with large embedded rocks in the trail.

    I can't count how many swingarms I see with those skidplates mounts ripped right off, I wonder if they found the skidplate at all?

    Honda should have made an East coast and a West coast model, one super light for the dunes and the other set up for the rocks/snow and ice we deal with here

    I like the swingarm setups myself, i cant count how many times ive tried to wheelie over a log just to land on the swingarm side.

    DC- The trails out here can be knarly with rocks too, and mud, clay, wood, metal... ugh gets to be a mess.
    Nothing to ride... for now
