Just remember...
  • You will need less engine trim and too much trim can lead to some high speed loss from too much drag.
  • It is not designed to be a step.
  • Some engine builders state that the installation of such can void the warranty while others (like Honda) sell them as a factory accessory so check your paper work first.
I placed my order with Bob's online Sunday afternoon, UPS deliverd the plate yesterday. Now that was fast! Got it installed yesterday evening, everything went pretty smooth with the exception of one of the mounting bolts snapping off.

Looking forward to the weekend to test it out and see how much difference there is.
