My *** makes it difficult for vegetation to snag brake or shift levers.

Nicely done. Did you loop the ends through the plate around the frame?

And that headlight still makes me drool. Did you get that gratis?

Thanks Scott,
I just crimped a swage on the end of the cable so that it would not pull through the hole. Dan Colvin sent me the headlight from Idaho. I love that thing.

When your needing to remove the skidplate your always going to be connected to the rear brake pedal, shifter you can unbolt..... great head light!

...as long as your mod doesn't turn into a boot catcher you'll be fine.

I thought of the skid plate but I haven't had to remove it in years. If I had to I would just cut the line and make a new one.
No issues with boots, I checked that too. I had to play with lengths a bit to get it right.

Brake snake is another name for the ***. Rocky mountain ATV sells them, or make your own. Here's my how to thread. https://www.kawasakiforums.com/forum...e-snake-30324/

They work to keep grass and light stuff out, but I have pulled mine apart on bigger stuff.
shifter cable has to be a bit longer, for the extra travel.
