Nice job. I like the oil change accessibility

[@azrider6608]

Me too makes life a lot easer compared to some other skid plates I have seen

Merci beaucoup l'Ami !!!

Does your front tire rub on this skid plate at full compression of the shock? I saw a vid of a guy with a 22 cb500x that was having this issue... I wanted to buy one of these but am on the fence now

[@azrider6608]

I personally have not had any rubbing issues yet but I am going to replacing the wheels and tires for some more off road oriented ones as well as looking into modding the front brakes to a dual rotor setup

Do you need to remove the skid plate to do an oil change?

[@azrider6608]

You do not need to remove the skid plate there is a access panel for the oil filter and a cut out to allow the oil to drain freely

Is it possible to use that skid plate w/ a center stand ? &
Do you want to sell your old pull off parts ?

[@azrider6608]

The skid plate will work with a center stand the company that makes the skid plate (T-Rex Racing) also makes a center stand
As for selling old parts I don't have any I keep all the OEM parts that I remove to modify the bike in case I need to go back to original. The only other part I removed was the cheap ebay crash bars that were badly rusted internally and would not be safe to use.

How's the skid plate holding up so far?

[@azrider6608]

It is holding up wonderfully been doing some riding on the mountains and hit a few big rocks with no issues
