Steve,
ELine is just glorified fiberglass. Get the hyde, best by far. The mounts are so so, but work OK with a little grinding. Its a mud collector, so get some Moose foam and pack it in there. The pipe heat doesn't hurt it at all, I have mine packed good from the motor to the pipe.
The drain hole lines up almost perfect, so no need to remove it for an oil change. You could drill a hole to access the water pump drain bolt (and crank drain) if you think thats neccessary. It comes off pretty quick though. Biggest hassle is when its new, the bolts are short. I used longer ones, but after its on the bike for a couple rides, it seems to take a set and the shorter bolts are fine. It fits the '07 absolutely perfect. I would approach this like you won't remove it but can if neccessary.
Mine has taken some serious hits, on both the pipe and frame sections. No damage. I have some new photos I have to resize and upload.
Wait till you ride it.
