    hmm.....wonder if that helps at all with mileage?
    after all, it is a smoother surface for the wind to come
    off of instead of the wall created by the db ;)

    For all of you first gen guys out there, I have a 1 piece design to replace the stock 3 piece skid. Check em out! I'll be posting more pics once I get one with my logo back from the powdercoater. It's a a bit different from the design I have for the 2 gens. Let me know what you think!

    Awesome product and awesome person...

    I had the back plate bolted... 1 screw was taken off the backplate because it was hindering the installation of the skid plate itself....i need to recheck what is blocking it, maybe the screw for the backplate was just too long and ill shave it off.. Until then, everything is still good to go!

    thanks!
