Honda CR85 Ricochet Aluminum Skid Plate

Honda CR85 Skid Plate (1998-2007)

Your CR85's undercarriage takes a beating on the trail—rocks, roots, stumps, and hard landings all add up. This Ricochet skid plate bolts on to shield your engine and frame from impact damage that'll cost you real money to fix. It's built from solid aluminum and sits flush with your bike's lines, giving you full coverage where it counts most. Installation is straightforward, no drilling required, and you'll have it mounted in minutes.

What You're Getting

• Aluminum skid plate sized for 1998-2007 CR85 models
• Custom-made brackets and fasteners included—no hardware store substitutes
• No drilling or tapping into your frame
• Installs quickly without special tools
• Made in the USA

The Build

The plate itself is 5052 H32 aircraft-grade aluminum, 0.160 inches thick. That's real metal that won't fold or crack on you. The mounting brackets are chromoly steel—more than twice as strong as mild steel—so they'll stay locked in place and won't rattle loose after a few rides. Every fastener is sized and designed specifically for this plate to keep everything tight.

Finish Options

Your skid comes with a clear anodize coating that protects the aluminum from corrosion and weathering. If you want a tougher look, you can add a black powder coat finish for $45. Fair warning: if you go that route, tack on an extra 1-2 weeks to your ship time while it gets coated. The surface is also prepped if you'd rather do your own powder coat work at home—no extra charge for that.
