This Kawasaki KX500 skid plate (1988–2002 models) is built from 5052 H32 aircraft-grade aluminum and comes in at .160 inch thick—solid enough to handle rocks, roots, and whatever else you hit. It ships with a clear anodize finish that gives you protection right out of the box, along with all the hardware you need to bolt it on.
What's In The Box
- Skid plate (aircraft-grade aluminum, .160" thick)
- Heavy-duty mounting brackets
- All fasteners and hardware needed for install
Installation
No drilling or tapping into your frame. The brackets bolt straight on using the hardware Ricochet includes—takes an afternoon, tops.
Finish Options
It comes standard with a clear anodize that'll hold up. If you want something more visible, you can add a black powder coat finish for an extra layer of protection. Fair warning: if you go that route, plan on waiting an extra 1–2 weeks for it to ship. The black powder coat is the only color available if you choose this upgrade.
Made in the USA.
