Skid plate for 2011?
What skid plate options are there for 2011 XC's. I did a quick search and it looks like most plates are for 2008 and earlier.

The 08 and earlier plates generally work OK.
I know that EE has a skid plate coming in Jan for the Gassers. |

I think most of those would work.
The hyde plastic skid plate says 05-11. |

The skid plate that comes on the 2011 six days model offers great protection and is made of thick aluminum. I can't tell who makes it though.

Scorpion Skid Plates
Quote:
If you get a Scorpion for 2010-2011,...you will need 4-8mm x 25mm stainless steel bolts, 16-8mm flatwashers (4 washers per bolt) and 4-6mm washers for the rear hook. Next up, you will need to cut a groove into the plate, so the mower pipe hanger will clear. (See photo) Scorpion supposedly sent updated mounting hardware to Go Fasters back in April, but since I never recieved mine, I had to improvise. The plate itself is a fine guard and offers great protection but the mounting "bar" is a joke. Simply put, installation of a skid plate should never require a floor jack. Perhaps if I had the proper mounting hardware as promised, it would be easier..... Needless to say, one shouldn't have to cut, drill, shim, and replace parts on something that SHOULD fit to begin with. In the meantime... my 2011 is sitting here waiting for a plate from EE, I would suggest you do the same. |

I was going to add when I tried to installed my plate back last Feb I was corresponding with Steve Vander Helm from Scorpion Racing Inc. explaining the changes needed to fit the new frames. He sent me the required upgrades in less that a week and insured me that he would be making the appropriates changes on the next production run. That's the last I heard. Maybe GoFasters never got the upgrades form Steve. Hope this gets solves cuz they are a great plate. IMO.

Yes, excellent customer service Steve! Thank you for posting.
As far as the Hyde, I can see the plate fitting all years, but not the combo on the new bikes with the different bend pipe. |
