go with the vei alum belt skid plate. wont flex like the plastic bellypan or skinz plates.
those are all great points, but the reality is its just plastic and will flex and damage that area easier that a alum one. as far as being more slick and slide over a rock? never seen a smooth rock, except in the river...usually all rough around the edges..the softer material grabs and holds where as two hard surfaces deflect off each other... a great example is a jetski pump for instance. the stainless steel rings in yamaha/kawasaki hold up 10 times better than the plastic liners that seadoo uses in theirs. plastic will always be on the losing end..
Psh. What do you even know about sheetmetal?Ummm aluminum is much stickier than stainless or plastic.
You are mixing your metaphors.
You kinda proved yourself wrong there. ???
Psh. What do you even know about sheetmetal?
But in all seriousness, has anyone had, ridden with, or seen a quick drive pully damaged from an impact there that wasn’t a serious impact that damaged the sled in other ways too?
Just trying to decide if it’s worth it or marketing hype. I bought a vei one for my ‘13 pro. 5 seasons now, sled as a whole shows wear, but not a scratch on the vei plate, which tells me it was never used to save an impact.
I’ve Never seen a damaged qd pulley period.
Broken chaincase yes. (Big rock smash)
I’ve built my own aluminum ones and been stopped dead by them sticking to rocks.
Plastic always hits and slides over.
