skid plate recomendation 18 300XC

[byz250F]

Looking for some recommendations on a good skid for my 300XC.

I just bought a 300 xc-w and I put an aluminum enduro engineering skid plate on mine.  I have a few different places that some people don't like them because the aluminum is noisy and it causes rigidity in the frame.  I never noticed it on my 450 xc-w so I went with the same brand and material.

P3 is my choice. Lighter than aluminum and you won't have rust issues.

I was looking at that one also, did you get the one that protects rear shock linkage also?

I have the AXP with linkage guard on my XC. It fits nice and has plenty of coverage. Also fairly easy to take on and off.

I really like that one, I think I want an orange one.  You running a pipe guard as well?

Yes I have a P3 carbon pipe guard and the orange AXP.

Do you have to remove the AXP skid in order to change the trans oil?

No.
I do stick a a paper plate between the skid plate and engine as an improvised funnel to keep oil from dribbling on the skid plate and frame rail.
Works great. Quick and easy clean up.
