Yamaha Kodiak 450 Ricochet 8-Piece Complete Aluminum Skid Plate Set

Your Yamaha Kodiak 450 takes a beating on the trail, and the undercarriage is usually the first thing to suffer. Rocks, logs, stumps, and rough terrain can wreck your frame, A-arms, CV boots, and floorboards fast. This Ricochet skid plate set wraps those vulnerable spots in protection so you can keep riding without worrying about expensive damage underneath.

What You're Getting

The set covers your frame, A-arms, CV boots, and floorboards. If you've got a 2003-2006 model, you also get a rear diff guard. Everything bolts on straightforward—no welding or special tools needed.

Material Options

You can go with 3/16" aluminum, which is solid and does the job. If you want extra toughness against impacts, select models let you upgrade to aluminum with a 1/4" layer of UHMW plastic bonded on top. That combo soaks up harder hits and keeps your parts safer.

Finish Choices

Out of the box, you get the bare metal finish. If you want it to look more finished with a black powder coat, you've got two options:

• Visible ($90): Black coat on the front bash plate and A-arm guards only—the parts people actually see
• Complete ($150): Full black powder coat on everything—bash plate, A-arm guards, floorboards, frame skids, and rear diff guard if your model has one

Fair warning: if you pick the black powder coat, tack on an extra 1–2 weeks for shipping.
