Kawasaki KX500 Ricochet Aluminum Skid Plate

Your Kawasaki KX500 (1988–2002) takes a beating on the trail. Rocks, logs, stumps—they all target your undercarriage. This skid plate bolts right on and guards everything underneath, so you're not spending money fixing damage that could've been prevented.

What you're getting:
A solid piece of 5052 H32 aircraft-grade aluminum, .160 inch thick. That's the same material used in airplanes because it actually holds up. It covers the full undercarriage and comes with custom brackets and hardware that bolt straight on—no drilling, no tapping into your frame required. The whole thing installs in about an hour with basic hand tools.

The finish:
Out of the box, it comes with a clear anodize that protects the aluminum from corrosion. If you want black instead, you can add a durable black powder coat for $45 extra—just know that adds 1–2 weeks to your ship time. The surface also comes ready if you want to powder coat it yourself somewhere down the road.

Built right here in the USA.
