Just a head up to those thinking about installing Ricochet bash plates.
It real easy to drill a hole thru the radiator hose. (hose from the oil cooler to mainline radiator. #11 on Yamaha microfiche). The area in question is on the rear aluminum bash plate, forward hole, drivers side . The hose is routed thru the same area where you drill for sheet metal clamps.
Don’t think I’m the only person whom did it. The hose is back ordered till June. Till then my baby is just sitting there waiting for her new part.
As for the Ricochet bash plate, I’m very satisfied with the product. It’s way to rocky here in Nevada to be without any protection. Just wish there was UHMW option.
Stay tuned, ride reports coming. Love my Viking!
