I just installed the swingarm and engine skids from Graydon Proline. Fit was great on the swingarm and good on the engine. Some harware could be improved by length, quality. They use round head allen bolts to act snag free. The fram clamps are steel to the frame ( I don't like that). I loc-tited all bolts. No oil drain hole under plug, so I called them and they said that there is a large arc of draining oil and the hole would have to be too large to operate well so it runs all over the skid.. Bumper and mini skid are due next week.

get yourself a Pela oil vacuum (1-888-272-7964), and you won't have to deal with the mess or removing the glide plate. you just place the hose into the oil filler & pump the handle a few times and the oil will all drain into the container..in fact better than the ordinary way..no muss or fuss. Before I got mine I tried enlarging the drain hole in my AC, but the oil still ran all over everywhere.
The big plus with this thing is that it is so easy you tend to change the oil much more frequently... you engine will love you!
