like the title says, I need a pic from the side of a PRM skidplate mounted on a 1st gen 200X swingarm.

I have to fab mounts for this thing because like millions of other X swingarms out there, someone ripped off/ cut off the old mounts so I don`t know how tight the skid plate is to the swingarm.

thanks in advance

Does it use the factory mounts?

83 swing arm was a different design that 84-85. I'm not sure if the mount pattern is the same, but I would assume so.

I could take some measurements off of one I have here with the mounts still on it. At least I think I have one with the mounts intact :P

pattern is the same, just 83 was round tube frame that's all

my swinger didn`t have the mounts anymore when I bought it. I had to make some.

The only swinger I had tha still had its mounts was an `83 and I couldn`t use it as a guide because the skid on an `83 is closer to the bottom of the swingarm than the next two years because of the way the lower shock mount is designed.

I fixed it myself this morning. Made new mounts and then stood them off the bottom of the swingarm just enough to clear that bottom hole for the shock yoke thing and welded it all up. It`s either correct or not.

I wonder why the damn bolt holes on this skid plate are offset so far to one side. I lined up the chain sliders and mounted it all where it fell.
