Installed Ricochet skid plates and A-arm guards on my 2016 Outlander 650 XT. After riding at Hatfield-McCoy last month, the stock plastic skid plate really took a beating, especially at The Rock House. Overall, they look good, and I’m sure will work well. They were a pain to install, mostly because I was by myself, and couldn’t stand the machine up on the grab bar. I used car ramps instead. I also found that if you’re not careful, it can be real easy to strip the mounting bolts.
