Re: How-to: Install MC Engine Guard / Crash Bar

Found out about one thing that I missed during the installation. Good thing that it was not a bad mistake.

If you check out the pic right before I said "a few more closeups", you'll notice that the reflectors are awfully close to the exhaust pipes. Turns out that this is not a good thing

After my trip today, I noticed some smell. Bottom portion of the reflectors were burnt out. Double checked the bolt, and it was in there tight. First thought about taking the reflectors out, then decided to bend the metal part that holds the reflectors upwards a little so that there is enough space in between the exhaust and reflectors. I think this will work out in the long term.

Lesson learned: Make sure nothing touches or is very close to the exhaust pipes... They will get burned otherwise.
