    Thats great, I would love to see it. I have to take it back to the dealer to do as I don't have the tools to do this, but any idea on where to go would be great. Might have to swing by Home Depot for some rubber washers before I go.

    With what little Engineering experience I have,,, eh,, There is no doubt in my mind K-works would not approve of this modification,,, Their reply would be "H" "E" double hockey sticks NO!!!

    There is zero doubt in my mind this mod reduces the structural integrity of the shield, reduces the capacity of the shield to transfer load to the mounts, and exposes that shield to additional forces never encountered by the 'as designed' shield.

    Y'all are free to do as you please, but,,, please be careful.

    You know what they say about opinions don't you!? There like ass holes everyone has one! lol I assure you its quite strong and secure. In fact more secure than it was before. Perhaps before you speak you should find out my background,education etc.lol I would never recommend something that was unsafe. I merely stated what I did and did not suggest anyone else do it.........I'll get photos up soon as I can.............Dickie

    Yeah, but the limited legal experience I have indicates 'Did not inform others of any potential peril, did not specifically inform others to do this at their own risk, knew that others were planning on performing this mod, and furthermore endorsed the mod to speeds of up to 145 mph"

    Between the Attorney's, Engineers, and Architects I work with as part of employment with a large Corporation, eh, no wonder little thoughts like that pop up in my head!!! LOL!!!,

    Participation in too many depositions / lawsuits has warped my noggin!!!

    LOL!!!
