What are you guys doing? The drivers,chaincase and brake all need protection but I sure like the improved flotation my Phazers Glide plate gave me on it. Would like that on Viper also.

Re: rear skid
X2...except black in color. Happy with the OEM rear skid plate on my 2013 AC 1100 turbo so should be just as good on my Viper.

If the guys at Racewerx would ever respond to my emails, I'd like to do the full plate and bumper from then. Looks like the ticket!

Re: rear skid
Is that rear plate aluminum or plastic?

I am not sure if its plastic or not. My other skid protectors have been A heavy plastic. What was on the Arctic cat turbo?

Looks like the Racewerx stuff is aluminum, the Cat and Yamaha plates are plastic. Cat does make a white one if anyone dares.

- 2014 viper rtx
2006 apex rtx
is the viper considered one of cats xf chassis??
if so, I am wondering if the carbon fiber skid plate from rpm composites would fit it? they have one designed to fit the cat xf chassis.
my buddy has an rpm composite skid plate on his doo 1200 and its very well built and absolutely rock solid.

Ordered both skid plates from Yammi, I always buy skid plates for my four stroke sleds.

I wouldnt think of running without one either but I really want a plate that helps flotation. I hate being a snowplow. Doesnt look like anything is offered even for the ProCross.

Plastic... but very thick. Here is a picture.
