05 RX-1 Skid installation help.

[otis]

I am going to be installing an updated 05/06 mono RA skid into my 2003 RX-1 thanks to RX-Dave. I can truly say I am a newbie to Yamaha suspensions. I know others have posted successful installations, but I am worried about doing it myself. I live in the St.Paul metro area (actually Stillwater) and was wondering if anyone with a 2005 RX-1 might be willing to help me out by allowing me to photograph and measure their skid to see where I need to install mine to get it right. I have read that removing the holding/reinforcement plate rivets allows the new ones to be attached with the same holes and that is the template for drilling the new holes in the tunnel. I really need to see and photograph a 2005 to know what I am doing. Is anyone close to me willing to let me use their sled as my guide? Please PM or email me at randerson3@comcast.net

Thanks this site rocks!

I've got one but it's up at my cabin by Park Rapids tell me what you want pic's of and I'll take them for you this weekend or you can wait for a few weeks when i bring it home to have it serviced. My dealer still has a couple but there in storage right now as he's in the process of moving so i can't get at them. I also have an 03 so i can do a side by side comparison fairly easily, let me know if that works.
