I redid the entire mounting system on the thing. Made a new, stiffer, front mount. Heated and re-bent the rear mounts. Added steel inserts to the plastic, spacers, and upped the hardware to M6 from M5. Added rubber pads at the frame contact points. Now you can tighten it against the inserts, not the compression of the plastic, and its solid. I still like this unit and beleive me it gets used on my bike. Get some skid plate foam to pack between the pipe and motor/frame as its a shovel though. The pipe heat does not hurt the foam, BTW, I have it compressed against the pipe.
Kevin, how do the swingarm covers fit? I was thinking of those for more rock protection.
