    +1 on the Macgyver, I even use a floor jack on it when I change oil for a little more clearance, although a few folks say it puts too much pressure on the headers.

    I bought a Macgyver pan for my 2016 and can't get the thing to mount properly. It's all the way against the bottom and the slots still don't get high enough for the bolts to grab. I tried a slight crease and still no joy. :shrugs:

    i too, bought the macgyver, and had to wiggle and wangle the sh.t out of it to fit right

    careful it doesn't cut you, it has some sharp edges on it

    Dare I say, if the F6B was meant to have a belly pan, would Honda not have equipped it with one?

    Apparently not! Wait until your front tire kicks up debris or a rock from the road and punctures yours. Poor location for the tank...and a Honda fail.

    Ditto here. I snugged down one side, then used an old scissor jack to push up the other side to snug it down. Had to do a couple of times to get it right. Still drags before the pegs.
