Honda Quad skid plates

[J@mesC]

Has anyone come across some reasonably priced underbody protection / skid plates for Honda quads? I use a new TRX520 in woodland / forestry and have already removed an A-arm plastic guard on a stump or branch and don't really want to knacker the thing but the only options I can find seem to be about £600-700! Loads of options in the US of course...

I've used a 2008 Honda trx420 in woodland since 2010 and I've never needed more than the standard front and back axle guards.  These are metal and yes they get dented, but they offer good protection and I've not damaged anything that way.  Maybe you could find some from a quad breaker?

The ones on my TRX520 are plastic unfortunately and the front ones are only held on with a single M6ish bolt. Would love to find something in metal 😞

First link didn't work for me and second seems out of stock sadly  but that sort of price would be great!

Yes plastic doesn't sound ideal. Id try taking the plastic ones to a quad breaker and seeing what they have in metal in a similar shape.  Guards from a different model would be easy to adapt.

 

I don't know where you are in the UK, but I can put you in touch with a quad breaker in Carlisle that knows everything there is to know about Hondas and may well have something suitable.

That would be great - thanks. I'm Derbyshire but sure they could ship if they had something.
