Buyer beware of the lack of clearance on the new monoshock apex. Very little space. Not sure how some people dealt with that?

lack of clearance? 7500.00 is what i can get it for i think its a good deal?
Unless it's been crashed it is a heck of a good deal! If you don't want it let me know I'll come and take a look!

Ya good deal for sure. I would just check with other members to see what they are doing on the idea of studs as the ones I have worked on in the past did not have much leeway for clearance. My XTX has more clearance than the monoshock skid, and I ran into studs hitting exhaust, so I dropped the protectors and riveted an aluminum plate to the top of the protectors. No issues since!

To clarify, the plate only covered the exup.

For the studding issues, you may want to look at the Hauck kit, a rivet on hyfax attachment to the stock tunnel protectors:

On my XTX there is noticeably more clearance than the standards that I looked at. Also, I reinforced the brackets that hold the tunnel protectors to the sled, to prevent them from flexing. Used rubber stoppers.`

I have a 12 128". All I did was put a 1/4" thick washer under the protector bracket's. Just need to drop the rear of the skid out, you will need to take the three screw's out of the dial adjuster and lay it on the skid out of the way aswell. Not even a nick so far. This is Yamaha's recommendation!
You will need some blue lock tight because the self locking nut's will no longer go on far enough to lock.
