And then I decided to do something with the stock plastics...The stock white was catching too much of the dirt and starting to yellow. So, I decided to get them Hydrodipped. White Base with Black Marble vein...What do you guys think? The White and Black EzRyde with this color scheme should compliment well together...

With the skids and track out, next will be pressing the smaller MTX drivers on the drive shaft, reinstalling EZRyde skid (very easy to mock up and drill new hole), and reassembly of the plastics, new exhaust, etc. Im almost there...the hard part's done.
Let me know if you guys have any thoughts or questions!

That is awesome! I love the plastics. Also would like to know what that runs if you don't mind and who does that sort of dipping.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments...I know it looks great right? My Brother in Law had an Apex 2 years ago and did everything and it was so sick, so I needed to do something with mine!
Cost wise, well worth it in my book. Depending on what you do and how much you do, its all custom based on # of parts and size of parts, paint used, etc. Can even do it on metal parts as well. (Hint hint for next year!) That said, I had all plastics on sled done, roughly 10-15 pieces and a few other odds and ends and it was around $700 with shipping included in that. I had a place in Idaho do it as we have ahd great luck with them. If you guys want somewhere more local to avoid shipping costs, just type in "Water Transfer" to Google to search for a place near you. It's the new coating "fad" and there are many places around that do it now. Its the same process used on guns to put camo patterns, pictures, etc anything you desire! Holds up to UV, scratches, chips great! Basically they spray the part with a base color then dip it and clear it! The options are endless!

Lookin' great 550ss! Can't wait to see the new skid installed.
Curious as to your choice of muffler. Nothing against Skinz (I love their stuff), but you might have been able to save a little more weight and gain a little extra power with something else ... was noise pollution a factor in your decision?

Here we go...EzRyde may have been one of the easiest installed skids I have ever taken part in. Very simple and the instructions were quite easy to follow. Basically 4 holes to drill. One hole about 4 inches back from the stock mounting location between a set of vertically stacked rivets and a stock screw hole. Basically splitting the difference on both sides. See the first picture. Then the rear hole was drilled from a vertical line that is straight down from the rear tip of the foot rails and connects to the bottom mounting hole of the rear grab bar...see picture 2.
Lastly mock up and bolt up and your good to go. See picture 3.
Now all thats left for the ezryde is to mount the rear shock reservoir on the side of the steel panel that holds the rear part of the foot rail and were good to go!
Im not sure where some people got the idea that the Ezryde will need to be narrowed and cut, etc. but the skid dropped in right as promised from the guys at ezryde and they did a wonderful job with the skid and instructions.
