Title: Skid plate Issues! Post by: grsricky on July 15, 2005, 02:28:50 PM I just purchased extreme fabrication skid plates for a 660 raptor. The swing arm is flush against the brake disc. I know there should be a like a 1 inch space between the skids and the disc, what can I do to get that space needed. They didn't come with any additional bolts or washers. Can anyone please give me some ideas?

Post by: grsricky on July 19, 2005, 11:24:05 AM Thanks guys for your help. Your resolution very logical but impossible for someone with little experience with these machines. I will install them this weekends. I am still recovering from my broken clavicle surgery and wont be able to ride for another 6 weeks but nevertheless; getting ready for what's soon to come. Hahaha. Thanks again guys.

Eventhough I have a few more weeks before I am free to ride from my clavicle surgery but I think you guys can understand. The envy was just too much for me. Just don't tell my wife. Hahaha. Thanks Again!
