When I took my Griso to the Arctic circle I wrapped a simple piece of rubber mat about 6" wide around the bottom of the engine to deflect stones, this kept it very clean.How about something similar on the V85 e.g 3mm carbon fibre or even polythene starting about mid way down the alternator to back about the start of gearbox.I really like what you have done so far, something to strive for.
Short length of conveyor belt?
Personally, I could do without the tangs to fit the skid plates.
Mounted my Stedi 25w on the crash bars, but might still raise them up a bit.
The higher the mount, the greater the penetration. Huzo, I'm assuming you mean atop the lower triple-clamp?

Huzo,any plans to strip the black paint off the engine and/or transmission?
If I thought I could have gotten into the fins without stripping the engine, I would have mate.I would be prepared to remove the engine/gearbox, but not strip the donk.To have silver with black underneath is not acceptable.Cylinders would require chemical removal or vapour blast, complete dissassembly.
The rocker cover thing is something I seriously considered, but not convinced enough to commit to it.If I did that, it would command attention somewhere else IMO.
Having cross-eyed spotties might not be such a bad thing. It might look weird, but could prove useful for spotting & deterring those dusk-time Skippys lurking on the verges.
My headlights were off center as well. Loosen the two bolts that hold the bracket to the frame. There is enough room in the holes to shift the head lights centering them. Hold them in place until you snug the bolts and you are good to go. Merry Christmas Huzo.
I’m really starting to think that black needs to come off the engine/gearbox.Would vapour blasting do the job ?Walnut shell maybe ?
If you don't mind the possibility of oil seeps.Ciao
