Now that you mentioned it I'm confused myself...lol. I'm in the motorcycle work station of the Auto Skills Center where you get work on your own vehicle's. Behind me you would seen work bays...

There are a couple of threads about replacing the front mounting bolts with studs and it makes removing/re-installing the plate a WHOLE lot easier!
Done! The stud kit makes it much easier. It takes a bit of alignment work to get it back on after straightening.
Did the same today with the oil change. Shocked at the state of the skid plate. Ya think I should have noticed when I took that hit? Not even sure when it happened, though it had to be in AZ. Had to get a bigger hammer..
After a lot of pounding and my wife coming out to ask what the heck was going on.

What brand of plate is that?
SW Motech. I should upgrade. Real pain to align all the holes after straightening everything. Front brackets were slightly bent too, but it all absorbed the hit.

That's what I really disliked about the stock plate on my Stelvio. Super hard to keep the four mounting tabs aligned after straightening it out. Guess that means it's doing the job though...
That's the biggest reason I don't do my own. I hit triple digits often enough, that I don't want an unbalanced tire.
I did change those dampers also last tire change. Huge difference, but costly parts in my opinion..
Thought you were going with the + version...
Debating what to order now, getting ready for the rally. E-07+ Dakars or Shinko 804/805s? Figured out my slow leak on the front is bead seating gone bad (E07 Dakar with 18Kmi). Very predictable/consistent 1 PSI/day.

I’ve changed my oil once since the T-Rex install. I packed shop towels in which helped some. Then I was able to clean up the top side of the plate from the front but it’s tight. When I do a pressure wash, there’s enough access holes to clean the pan. I ride around on white Iowa limestone which leaves a layer of dust on my wheel rims so I figured that there would also be buildup on the “oil film” pan but I’ve really not seen that.
Had a new Michelin Anakee Adventure installed on the front replacing the previous MAA I had installed 2 years ago.
I had about 8K miles on the MAA I replaced, it was nice and evenly worn with probably another 1-2K miles that could have been
squeezed out but I wanted a new tire for the rest of the season.
A new valve stem was also installed. The old one was the original and was beginning to look a bit dried out.
Checked all the spokes front and back and they were all still nice and snug from the last time I inspected them in the Summer of '19
when I had to tighten/torque a few on the back wheel only.
