Husqvarna XC 500 Skid Plate (1984–1988)
The XC 500 was built to dominate. Long-travel suspension, serious power, and the kind of Swedish engineering that made Husqvarna a legend. If you've got one of these machines, you know what it's capable of — and you know it deserves real protection underneath. This skid plate shields your undercarriage from rocks, roots, and all the gnarly terrain you throw at it. Bolt it straight on. No drilling, no tapping, no headaches.
What You Get
- Full skid plate with clear anodized finish
- Heat-treated Chrome-Moly clamps that mount without drilling
- All bolts and hardware to get you rolling
The Materials
This is built from 5052-H32 aircraft-grade aluminum — the same stuff serious riders trust. Sits at 0.160" thick, which gives you solid protection without overdoing it. The clear anodized finish comes standard and keeps the metal looking good while protecting it from the elements.
Installation
Those heat-treated Chrome-Moly clamps do the heavy lifting. They grip your frame without any drilling or tapping, so you're looking at a straightforward bolt-on job. Once it's on, it stays put — no rattle, no fuss, and you can pull it off whenever you need to.
Black Powder Coat Option
Want it blacked out instead of the standard clear finish? Add $30 for a tough black powder coat. Just know that if you go this route, tack on an extra 1 to 2 weeks for shipping while we get that done.
