Looking to lighten up skid!

[burnt toast]

I have read somewhere that a arctic cat skid is a direct replacement for a yamaha and are signficantly lighter? Does anyone know what year to be looking for? 162" 06 apex? There are a couple on kijiji but don't know if will fit for sure. Or if anyone has any other ideas without spending a crap load of money..

Not a direct replacement by no means, takes some machining of spacers and shafts, new holes to be drilled for front swing arm and rear mounts moved. Is a cheaper option that works better than stock but takes some extra work and modding IMO

if your going to stay 162, AD Bovin ZX2 skid, canadian built, rides awesome, lighter than stock. I like it, it works!

I HAD ONE IN MY OLD SRX. YOU NEED TO FIND THE CENTER TO CENTER BETWEEN THE FRONT AND THE REAR OF THE SKID. I CANT REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS. BUT ITS PRETTY EASY.
