Scorpion Linkage Skid Plate

Sure can. I'll take a few when I get home the 28th.

So did the link plates turn out. Was wondering who all got one and how well did it turn out. Also how much was it. I couldn't find it on scorpion web site.
Thumperrider1, where did you get the kit to do your spokes. Looks really good!
 
I got the scorpion link skid and it's a nice unit.

Lookup "spokecoats" on facebook or google. The spokes are just covered with pvc. So far no troubles with them and they are not trapping junk between them and the spokes.

I totally forgot to get some pics of the scorpion setup. Will pull the bike out this week and get some.
 
To revive an older thread, are these still being made and are they available for the '14's? I'd like one for mine.

I too am interested in a review. Whats the deal with the 3/4" lower kit? Is it lowering seat height-which would be great. Or is it changing the rising rate? and if so did it make the suspension feel better or worse?
 
I have the standard scorpion linkage skid plate , not the lowering one and it is reasonably banged up and scratched which means it is doing its' job nicely.
Not sure if they still make them , best to check the company they trade under now.... Emperor racing. Not shown on their webpage but that means nothing.

Email reply from Steve:

"We don't make the linkage skid plate for the 2014 and the 2012/2013 is not the same. We have no plans to make any for Gas Gas in the near future"

I've emailed a few other companies (Stillwell Performance/Fastway) but I'm assuming their response will be the same.

I hope the aftermarket industry picks up for the Gasser a bit and someone makes a linkage skid plate, as the '14 linkage sticks down a fair way and I ride a lot of rocks.

Shoot the owner an email. My experience is he is very helpful and customer service was great!!


I just e-mailed them. I figure if the 3/4" lower doesn't effect the suspension,and the seat height is a little lower that will help me .

Darn - that stinks.

Take a look at this one on Slavens Racing.

I don't know exactly what the new 2014 linkage looks like. But this one that is made for KTM's (sorry) sure seems to be a somewhat of an easy thing to make if you have the connections to a machine shop. -- Oh and after posting this I looks like this one is made by Steve...

This one is interesting --- You would have to drill holes in the linkage arms
