I've a touratech bash plate fitted to my XTR (was on when i got it) it's probably a previous version to this one http://touratech.co.nz/shop/engine-g...ard-large.html (very strong and robust)

it has the holes cut in for doing oil changes but honestly i'd reather removed it. anyway it looks like it wont be coming off without a few of the bolts being drilled out.

one solution is part of the support frame for the plate goes through the frame just above the main oil hose at the front, there are 2 bolts one above the other and it attatches to the top one. if i remove this bolt will i be exposing any oil channels or is there a tube in there keeping the oil seperate from the bolt it self?
