A while back Nick sent me a brand new Mecasystem skid plate for my new 2008 Gas Gas EC300, just for a review of the product. This is in his opinion the best skid plate going for Gas Gas 2 stokes. He wasn't sure of the fitment on the 2008 model and said give it a try.
Well from the first moment I saw it, I knew this skid plate would be far better than any I have ever owned. Its 1 1/2 to 2 times as thick as anything else on the market and screams quality.
The front mount is steel so it is good and strong and the rear is a part of the skid plate and points toward the rear of the frame and tucks over the middle of the rear frame spar. A smart simple design that took me more time to put the included sound deadening sticky back foam on the frame rails than to actually mount the skid plate itself. Once installed you notice the exceptional coverage it provides and that it fits like a tailored glove. Yep thats right Gas Gas fans, even on my 2008. The only place clearance is even close is in the front near the exhaust but not an issue at all.
One comment on an earlier post thought you may have to pull the Skid plate to change the oil. This is not the case as long as you have a #6 T-handle Allen. They cut a slotted hole in the right location for easy oil changes.
My new Gas Gas drew a pretty steady stream of interested gawkers on Sunday at our Season opening Enduro. I got several comments and questions about the skid plate cause not only does it look stout but it looks trick with its polished shine and holes bored out all over it.
How does it work you ask, It worked great! The thing takes abuse slides over logs and rocks and it handles case hits on G -outs and whoops and stays put! I could not be happier with this product and now 100% agree with Nick this is the best Skid plate for 2 strokes.
You just can't go pick up one of these anywhere though. So if I were you and your lookin for a quality 2 stroke skid plate I would contact Nick Collin Cycle Pro 775 in Elko Nevada, he is a sponsor of this site and last I heard still had a couple of these sweet skids in stock.
