If you run in the rocks they can be an arm saver. Plus if you want to sell your arms the value is higher. Who wants a arms that are beat to you know what on the bottom.

That's a good point. Cheap insurance.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm going to ask JD since that's the arms I have. Otherwise I'd get a set of off the shelf ones and modify them. I don't really like the clamp on style any way

I vaguely remember someone offering polyurethane a-arm skid plates, I believe it might have been Maier but not sure.

Polyurethane would be perfect because of it's light weight

I'll check. Kased plates makes a Polly belly skid I'm going to get. I could probably ask him about the arms also

I had to make them for the Rolls. Those MGC's will be tricky.(http://forums.trx250r.org/vbulletin_imports/172_3479_2017-04-18_9285.jpg)
