Just installed the belly pan- recommended by Cruiseman- I've thought about it for a while and finally did it- instructions (which anticipate pronlems you may have and tell you how to get around them) are superb. Didn't tale long at all. Product gets a "10" and instructions also get a "10". BTW, McGuyver puts his email at the end of the instructions in case you need help. Well done!

Any issues using a scissor jack with the McGuyver BP installed?
I currently have a vented all aluminum BP which is very flexible and appears not to add any stress to the attachment points when I use a scissor jack to lift up the bike and front wheel for tire changes, maintenance, etc.,
I like the looks of McGuyver's BP, however I have also cracked Aluminum Checker plates before on Highway Tractors, which admittedly is a much harsher environment.
However, better to ask a silly question now

I have been thinking the same question! Even though I have the flexible (some what) aluminum belly pad, bought too soon before the new one.Christian Motorcyclists Association, VP Las Vegas Lights Chapter,

Didn't really think about the jacking question (though I did use a jack as McGuyver suggests to push up the pan). Best to query him, unles Cruiseman can shed light. The other thing is, though, you loosen the 4 nuts that hold it (lower fairing acorn nuts) so it's a mere extra 5 minutes labor if you need to jack. Other commenters on the old forum say they use a jack with it in place with no problems. Hope that helps

by Dan0007I’ve been considering a belly pan but am uncertain if I would be able to continue using my J&S jack to service my bike. Pic 1 shows the bike up on the jack. Pic 2 and 3 indicate the lifting points...3 Photos

by CruisemanWhen I did my coolant replacement yesterday I had to remove my Tulsa belly pan. I noticed a LOT of gouges and dings in the pan. It reminded me of why I am such a believer in the belly pan. No telling...
