Yeah, I tried both the PRM and DG skids, and same deal, holes are never in quite the right place. I have 3 theories, both I think contribute to the problem:

 

1- Not all the frames are the same from Yamaha, they all vary a little bit.

 

2- The frames get bent, and flex over time.

 

3- The holes on the skids werent 100% from the the manufacturer.

 

I've done 4 belly skids, and none were easy, I wound up leaving some of the hangers off.

I hear ya man i just bought one too and it fit like crap and i had to cut my bumper so it would fit.

well what are some skid plates that bolt up good without scratchin the crap out of the frame?

how did you get the clamps on at the back?

i don't remember having that much trouble with my dg's. the only clamps that were a pain were the rear ones, which don't fit perfectly over the frame, but pretty close. i've had it on and off several times and you just have to get it close, then work it around a little and it will line up pretty decent. the front of the plate does fit under the stock bumper, but all i did was loosen it up, put on the skid, and rebolt the bumper :shrug:
