    My 430XC had the OEM "third pipe" which goes under the motor between the two downtubes. I'm looking for either an original Husky skid plate, OR if any one knows of a modern skidplate that could be modified to fit. Thanks

    If it still has that tube, you do not need a skidplate. Because of that I have never seen a plate for these and the skidplate that came in my group of parts likely is for the 86 400WR that has enough tubes but it will not work over the 3rd frame rail of the twinshockers

    Malcolm Smith Racing made a skid plate for earlier third rail models - maybe also for an 82.
