That engine and suspension can handle anything, but your undercarriage can't. Rocks, logs, stumps, and hard ground will tear into the belly of your bike without protection. This Ricochet skid plate bolts on solid and takes the hits so your engine and frame don't have to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull skid plate with clear anodized finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeat-treated Chrome-Moly clamps that bolt right on — no drilling required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll bolts and hardware to get it mounted tight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plate is cut from 5052-H32 aircraft-grade aluminum and runs 0.160\" thick — that's solid enough to stop rocks and roots from reaching your motor, without adding unnecessary heft. The clear anodize coating on the aluminum keeps it from corroding and gives it a clean finish that'll last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose heat-treated Chrome-Moly clamps are the real deal. They grab onto your frame without any drilling or tapping into the bike. Install takes minutes, and when you need to pull it off to work on something underneath, it comes right off. No rattles, stays put while you're riding hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe skid plate ships with a clear anodized finish as standard. If you want to go with black powder coat instead, add $30 and plan on an extra 1 to 2 weeks before it ships out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU 205\u003c\/strong\u003e — 1984–1988 Husqvarna XC 500\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTraderHank is an authorized Ricochet dealer offering free shipping to the lower 48 states, same or next day shipping on in-stock orders, and a price match guarantee.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure if this fits your machine?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"sms:+18774254265\" style=\"display:inline-block; background-color:#ff6600; color:#ffffff; padding:8px 18px; border-radius:4px; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; margin-top:6px;\"\u003e📱 Text Us at 877-425-4265\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem style=\"font-size:small;\"\u003eWe'll confirm fitment before you order — we typically respond within minutes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ricochet","offers":[{"title":"Natural","offer_id":43437794033712,"sku":"205","price":119.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":43437794066480,"sku":"205-BLK","price":149.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1848\/0573\/files\/205_0daf6d59-7a85-4c5f-b878-24496f80c779.jpg?v=1780955249","url":"https:\/\/www.traderhank.com\/products\/skid-plate-husqvarna-xc-500","provider":"TraderHank","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
