Belly Pan Scraping

[GiddyupF6B]

When I installed my belly pan (Mcguyver) it rubbed. I contacted the maker of the pan and he had me reinstall it with a floor Jack underneath pushing up on it then tightening the bolts.....worked like a charm. I took the pan off 2 rides later because I didn't like the excess heat it was forcing up on me.

Excess heat?? Now you have me second guessing my purchase I know there are the vented ones, but didn't think they'd be very good as a jack surface. I had seen pics of using a motorcycle jack on the McGuyver model, and frankly, that was my main motivation in purchasing one. I think I'm probably going to end up with a Harbor Freight table lift before any longer. I've read good reviews. My next choice would be a Titan at quite a bit more money. I do all my own wrenching and servicing. Besides cost, I just simply do not trust most shops. I work on building systems, commercial/Industrial HVAC-R equipment from fractional horse power up to 1000 ton chillers so I'm not afraid of complicated machinery. Have manuals will travel.

Yet another reason I run 'Sans-Pan',,, even the vented / louvered pans can't flush out as much heat as 'no pan' can,,,

I made my own overflow tank protector outta 26 GA material,,, other than that, I run nekkid!!! (Pictures at 11!! )

You are not alone on belly pan scraping. I have just wore through my belly pan all the way. I got to replace it now and my pegs are about shot. My suspension is up +25 clicks. This bike will lean and scrape for sure!!!

The 6 is wide and low,,,(kinda like me!)

W/ spirited riding, a 6 will scrape before many other bikes,,,

Good news is, it is still plenty exciting for me in the corners,,,,

I never installed a belly pan, due to the fact I scrape the lower bodywork already.
I thought if I'm scraping that, I would hate a belly pan.
I drug my front crash bar in a left hander one day.....Talk about pucker factor.

That's a spooky one.

At the risk of if you take a better line there will be less scraping...
