skid plate ACD Racing Skid Plate

[OK185]

So you beat it at the spot where it hits the header? I will maybe try this, but mine is powder coated from factory so it might flake off.

Mine touched at the exhaust header and at the water pump pipes.

 

I wrote to ACD and they told me to check the fitment of the header pipes and to grind away some material from the skidplate.  

Well I'm not going to open up the factory header pipe bolts to risk leaks afterwards.

To design a skidplate with such little clearance might just not be the best idea in the first place. 

 

In the end I bent out the tab at the water pump with a vice, fitted washers underneath and ground away some material and now it fits OK.

I also put some piece of bicycle tubes at the mounting points to reduce the vibration noise.  

 

All in all it was quite a hassle to fit this plate. It's annoying to buy expensive parts which don't fit as they should.

Good reminder on why I only put the bare minimum of stuff on my bike.
