There will be no need... You can change the oil and filter when its on.... (when its done)..... If I need to take it off it takes about five minutes to remove the bolts and 15-20 seconds to take it off..... :) The two drain holes are already in the bottom and I will add a hole in the front with a removable cover for the filter... ::008::
I like the idea of the oil filter cover!

Ill post pictures of when its done and how the door works.. I have an oil wrench tool I want to pass though the plate and take the filter off... Takes no longer than a normal change and I can do it out on the road with out removing a muddy nasty dirty skid plate... :) Should work good when its done... :)

Me to! (although mine is a 'bit' more than 'lightly' used - but it is much beefier now than when I received it!).

Jaxon,
As mentioned earlier in this post I need one of these when you are done - are you going to put this up on your website for us to get our grubby hands on? ::014::
Yes, for sure have it on the web site.... I will do some "testing" with it to make sure I can "hang the bike from a tree off of it".. And then I will get some pricing on having them built. PM me with some contact stuff and I can let ya know :) Thanks bud ! ::008::

Looks incredible!
Can I come work for you?

Too bad the SW-Motech Skid plate is on, I would pre-order now.

Your design looks cool Jaxon. ::008::

I hope your testing goes well, but I would skip the hanging from a tree part of the test although that would be a great promo photo. ::025::

Man oh man do you have mad skills my friend. I wish you were in SoCal as would love to put your fabrication skills to work on my other toy.

Are you going living it bare, or hard anodized black?
