    Who runs a Belly Pan.....and why

    Other than the obvious - protection - I'm interested in installed belly pans ? I've searched and haven't found a lot said....and some have removed them. louvered, armor plated, stainless ?? Are they worth the bother...is it easier the put on the lift ?? CAN YOU lift with it on?? I read the tips on installing w/scissor jack, but just don't here it talked about much.

    I have the black one. Dicked it up trying to get it on a Harley trailer a little. Still works it just saved my frame. Some say it helps with aerodynamics, others say it holds in heat. I don't know if I notice any difference. It's easy to move out of the way when changing the oil filter. It blends nicely with the bike. I'd say it's mostly for looks and you can barely notice it. It's not that much money so what the heck.

    I still need to fix mine. The little screws that hold the two pieces together stripped out.

    The only drawback I had was it would scrape on speed bumps. After I bumped up the rear suspension preload it wasn't as bad.
