Fed, I think he can just have the bike on the side stand to put the spacers in the centerstand...

Anyone else still waiting for their skid plate ordered off eBay? Tell me I'm not the Lone Ranger.

Why do you take your altrider plate off?? I can change my filter without even loosening a bolt. If you run the short filter, that is (HF204, can't remember the Yamaha number off the top of my head).HoebSTer said:

They had to build yours... special. OTrue Grip said:
I don't feel special anymore now that I have it. This thing is nice and robust but it won't be pretty for long. After having it in my hand I'd pay full price for one. This was a steal for 300 dollars. Congrats to all you eBay shoppers!

Works with altrider crash bars. I replaced the aluminum spacers for the front of the skid plate with three double-sided-taped together thick washers so the front mounting machine screws engaged the threads to the same depth. Be very careful there. I stripped out 3/8" of thread into the block on one side by cross threading the screw. What a mess. I'll helicoil it if it pulls out or loosens up between checks.Dcc46 said:
Works with the Givi engine guards also.Dcc46 said:
I ended up getting slightly longer 12x1.25 x50mm bolts to allow for the extra depth of the Givi bracket that mounts there also. The supplied bolts will work, but your not using the full thread depth available with the Givi setup.
Also found the skid plate, steel mounting bracket needed a bit of fine tunning to clear the bottom of the stock exhaust on mine. Makes installing the two bolts at the mainstand location easier.

no matter where you go: there you are!
how hard is it to remove this skid plate for an oil change vs altrider??

Can't speak to AltRider ease but this one is very easy - 4 bolts. Install / removal is done on the sidestand; the two centerstand bolts get reinserted to put the bike up on the centerstand.sierraoffroad said:

I thought I measured the supplied bolts at 40mm...did I screw it up? I was thinking about getting 45s but couldn't find a good set with the proper thread pitch and strength.BWC said:
You didn't screw up, I did. ::010::
The bolts at the top of the front engine mounting plate are 40mm. The ones I got for the bottom due to the extra depth needed from the Givi engine guards are 50mm. Washer under the 50mm ones where the skid plate mounts and it uses all the available thread depth into the engine block. I'll edit the post.

Some (more) pics with the Altrider crash bars would also be appreciated. Looking mostly at the engine mounting. Thanks!
