Belly Pan install
OK so this mounting bracket is a game changer.
Belly pan fits like a glove and mounts easily and securely with the bracket in place. I note a few things for anyone else going down this path:
1.) You must have either Akra or Termi exhaust. A full system makes things even easier.
2.) Cooling fan, kickstand and kickstand hanger must be removed. (Circled below)
3.) When in place the belly pan tugs slightly on the radiator and pulls it back towards the rear of the bike about 1/4". It doesn't seem to create a problem as the rubber washers on the mounting points allow some flex. Hoses are still secure. I don't see a problem here (does anyone else??)
4.) In order for the cans to mount up, these forward hanger brackets need to be grind off the Akra exhaust. Then the exhaust will only mount from the primary hanger mounts and kept secure with a snug fit on the pipes and the various springs.
Let me know if you guys have more questions. More photos:
