Got my AltRider skid plate in and installed it today. Beautiful plate that mounts well, looks well, and looks as though it is going to protect great!!! Went out last week and put two dents in my oil filter while off road so had been relegated to street only duty until this arrived. ::010:: ::007::
During the install, I found the following instruction sheet errors that I wanted to pass on so others can hopefully benefit from. The install is very simple even with the errors but, hey, my OCD won't let me pass up fixing the errors I found.
Here they are;
Step 3 calls for using a 4mm allen when the correct size is a 5mm allen.
Step 7 calls for use of an M8x45 fastener and washer to be tightened with a 13mm socket. The supplied hardware was an M8x45 socket head that accepts a 6mm allen. This will also require a part listing update to replace M8x45 hexcap fastener (item 14) with the supplied M8x45 socket head screw.
Step 8 neglects to include the needed washers to the bolts before inserting.
Step 11 calls for use of an M8x45 hex cap fastener when the correct size fastener is the included M8x35 hex cap fastener.
Step 15 calls for using a 13mm socket to tighten the bolt installed in Step 7 (see above). Correct tool is a 6mm allen.
Step 16 indicates left bracket when right bracket is the depicted and correct bracket to tighten in this step.
That's it. Overall, a very easy install even with these minor instruction sheet errors. ::024::

Oh, one extra, the zip tie in the last picture holds the drain lines in place. Probably fine without it but I wanted to hold them in place as I felt the wind stream might catch them and push them back.
