Scorpion skid plate

[Stoby]

Just installed on my 06 This is the best designed skidplate I've ever seen esp.the mounting setup
I cant see it bending, coming loose, or vibrating.I put the rad protectors on too but I think the skid plate is without a doubt the best I've seen, of course I havent rock tested it yet but I dont forsee any propblems.Anyway I'd recommend this to anyone I got it and rad guards at Gofasters for less than msrp too!

Same thing on my '06 Stoby but did both holes on the rear mount line up for you? I could only get one to match

 

[Stoby]

Yeah

Everything went together pretty smoothly I loosenend up the front mounts so i had good movement Then started one rear and the other caught easily .
What did you end up doing?

I was able to get mine on in about an hour- but was hindered by a shoulder injury at the time. I would have to say that it is an awsome product- absolutly no complaints! I have rock tested it in the worst possible way- a slot canyon with a bunch of rockdrops and a poor pilot at the bars!there are some serious scratches but no bending or dents (which happened with a moose skidplate same canyon on my KLX450). I also have changed oil without removing the skidplate with no oil pooling on the skidplate.

Like nudie posts, this one is useless without pictures -

I was short on time so I just ran it with one rear bolt for that ride, I'm going to take another look at it this week. Based on the rocks I heard banging off it I was better off with one bolt than with out a skid plate.....

My Scorpion has held up extremely well, and I abuse the crap out of it.

Great customer service too!

 

[HuskyDude]

Well I thought someone would have posted a picture up by now....
I just love mine as well. Great product.

I have been kicking around which skid to buy. Kinda crossed between the hyde and the scorpion. Anyone got any info or reasons one over the other?

 

[mudwasp]

The scorpion can be color coded for your bike-makes it way cooler than the hyde

 

[rgranger]

thanks for the picture. I think that I will order one in the next few weeks, still not riding due to shoulder.

scorpion skid plate

fitted it to 2010 300 , fitted awesome even the hole to the oil drain plug lines up ! , have procceeded to beat the shit out of it in the rocky terrain that we ride in and it handles it all , great product

 

[waycrazy]

I ended up getting the scorpion skid. As far as bolt on fitment goes on my 2003 was perfect . All though none of the drain holes lined up. I will fix that apon my first oil change.

we became a dealer for these products, due in part to the quality.. I too have fitted a skid plate, and rad.braces to my 2010 demo unit. We are a stocking dealer. Canadian , eh ? They're on our side ...

Just got mine. What's the vote on using the filler foam ? Yeah or nay ?
I also have the LTR mud guard, which helps some in that department.

 

[HuskyDude]

Never did use the foam. Just gotta make sure you get all the dirt out after a ride. There is still a lot of cooling going on even under the engine. Doesn't work if it's full of mud.

i have had both and prefer the scorpion. it lasts longer and the plastic hyde wears to quickly and i still bent and smashed my frame tubes. the hyde pipe quard catches every tree branch and makes many dents.
