    I surprisingly don't find it louder than without it. Figured it would reflect some sound but have not noticed it yet. This motor does not seem to make a lot of mechanical noise. As for cooling I have never had an issue nor do I now so no idea.

    the new SW Motech has changed engine sound, now is metalic sound; no vibes, but I prefer last one, before installing Skidplate. I used to hear mufflers, and now does not exit.. maybe has something to do with no holes underground skidplate.. No diferent noise with o without sikdplate in my last HONDA NX650.

    I took and added a few bits of rubberhose between engine and skid plate. You can experiment with different sizes of tubing.

    Follow-up to this:

    I hadn't heard anything from the supposed August 5th date and made two calls yesterday. Suffice it to say I was a bit unimpressed with AltRider's response (albeit it was a receptionist and not necessarily a manager) when I said I had an order through Revzilla. They seemed eye roll through the phone about Revzilla.

    Sensing friction I quickly realized I should have called Revzilla first since I did order with them and not AltRider directly. I thanked them and called Revzilla.

    The Revzilla response was generally nicer, focused on getting me the product, and didn't dwell on AltRider.

    I just asked they send me an e-mail with an update when they could. So.......in early evening I found an e-mail in my Inbox with a Fedex shipping number that says my AltRider skid plate will be delivered this afternoon! So, they seem to be next daying. Very much unexpected, but nice touch Revzilla. :applause:

    Looking forward to installing it tonight or tomorrow. Once installed my journey to Terra-fication will be almost complete. Only a front spoked rim to sort out.

    And the installation went easily and AltRider plate is seriously pimp. Black anodized to go with the Strada black them. One zip tie to move the clutch cable slightly and now enjoy substantially more protection to the bottom bits of the motor and oil line.

    Do you have a pic of the underside? Can you get to the drain plug without removing the bash-plate?

    Yes. It's even an oblong hole to account for the bike on the side stand. No need to remove the plate when changing oil.

    Man, you guys need to cut AltRider some slack...this is a great looking skid plate with the most protection (including the brake, drain plug, case and hoses) that I have seen (maybe the B&B but with better air circulation)...yes there have been production delays, and an issue with the crash bar, but keep in mind that this is a limited production bike...not a huge return for any manufacturer. I am just thankful that we have seen the aftermarket support that we have.

    That is a piece of art. Man I like the looks. Plus some air flow vents in front too to help cooling.:thumbsup:
