Here's a pic of the one I made for my own sled.

Now you can not bolt your skid plate on properly and you do not have the most crutial stiffener, the back one.

Good points.

I don't run a skid plate. I do not have the back brace but I put also 1,800 miles on my sled last year including 100+ ft. jumps and many crashes and my subframe was only slightly bent from hitting a tree. I personally think the people bending them are running into stuff. I can honestly say I rallied the piss out of my sled last year and it held up great. Besides, that only cost me $10 in scrap steel

But if you want something that you can actually use you stock stuff, like using the stock skid plate, which you should be using to cover your oil filter and oil pan, then here is something that is going to work and stiffen up the weak 08 subframe. Why do you think Yamaha stiffend the 09, not for sh*ts and giggles. 09 subframe $750 Canadian, upgrading the one you have for 60.00, not too bad. I know what I did.

I thought people were having issues with the skidplates filling with snow then turning to ice and popping off? That was the main reason I never ran one last year.

$60 is definitely cheap insurance. If wasn't in a rush and hadn't already dropped my sub frame off at the powder coaters I would have bought both of those. Everyone with an 08 should be adding the plates to theirs.

having the rear brace is definetly nice, i'm still trying to decide if i'm going to grab the subframe on monday to add it or live with what i have, mines PROBABLY good enough, but generally i prefer to overbuild the #*$&@ out of everything so that i know 110% that its good.

Nikolai,
i only had a lot of snow/ice jammed in the front of my machine once last year, the skid plate didn't pop off at all, in fact it was a pain to remove because the ice froze to the little clips so they didn't want to come out, lol. Other people talked about having issues with it though.

You guys are giving me some great idead for my shop Any thoughts of a bolt on style, with half, aluminum, and half steel setup, for a lighter easier setup. More fabrication though. Steel brackets, with aluminum stiffner/connector plates.

How much for the kit that was posted on here? How thick is the steel?
