Just a note on the "skid plates" which I posted somewhere else, but forgot where. The skid plates are just held on with an adhesive strip. They will not stay on with any shear, nor after compression, they will come off. I lost my footing when arriving home from picking up my brand new bike, and lost the battle and set the bike down on the crash bar on the left side. The next day my friend noticed the skid plate was loose. I removed it easily and drilled it out, countersunk the holes and installed some CRES secres. I wanted to use bolts, washers, and lock nuts but you have to remove the extensions to gain access for the nuts. I wasn't sure they will come off with out some collateral damage to the paint on the bags or extensions. The extensions do not exactly match the surface of the bag extensions, so any force on them will cause the adhesive bond to fail. Hopefully next time they see any force, one of the screws should retain the plates even if the other screw is pulled out of the abs plastic. Just a note, I will be watching progress on installing the extensions to see if other issues emerge.
