Definitely an issue… Nearly lost one of mine at TO. To be fair this is the result of taking a very hard drop on a rock ledge. However sticking out as they do makes them vonorable to damage and ultimately failure.

Also gave the skid plate a nasty scrape on a rock at about 7 or 8 mph, hit very almost caused me a dead stop. The stock skid would have ripped open like a paper bag. So I will give the SuperATV skid .. 2 thumbs up. Price is right.. Just remember if you are ordering for P500 .. you will need to slightly modify it.
