Any recommendations on skid plates? I go through a lot of rocks and stones.

Well Jason, I'll just go with that one if you recommend it. These things don't lower my clearance by that much do they?
Thanks bro.

I use this brand on my 220, fits well & is strong, you do , like most bash plates suffer from a little bit of vibration but over all its acceptable. i find fitting small strips of rubber between the frane rails & bash plate helps reduce this effect slightly.

Got my skid plate. Came in 4 days. Bolted up easily by myself. Little anti-seize compound on the threads as note suggested.
No rattles. Included a cool sticker in the box. Ricochet Off Road!

You may want to check on foam.

I get a couple pounds of mud trapped in the skidplate. Difficult to clean bike too.

You think it will start rattling? I guess I'll find out....
