Anyone running a Moose E-Line Carbon Fiber skid plate? I just got one and went to install it... It only has 1 hole on the bottom of the plate. The stock guide plate had 2 on the bottom. If I am reading the directions I got with it correctly, it says to use 2 bolts on the bottom. Can anyone verify for me?

I've been using one on my bike. There are only two mounting points on mine. The front/center that bolts directly to the upper part of the frame, and there's a U-bracket that hangs over the frame near the brake pedal. Mine is super secure and I've never had trouble with it, except when I hit my header and knocked it back far enough to burn the skid plate.

Does yours have 3 holes in the front and 1 in the rear of the plate? What are the 2 holes on the sides of the center bolt that bolts into the frame for?

This is what mine looks like. I circled the only holes in red.

Mine is the same.
Stays tight.
I did dent the frame rail without much of a mark on the plate- strange.
Mine is getting pretty beat up after 5 years.

Hmmmmm. Wonder why mine has 3 holes up front?

Thanks for the help guys. After further research, I see Moose / E-line made a plate that will work on an X and an R. Thus the extra 2 holes on the plate. I did not like the fit and it had too much bend in it. I am sending it back - CRFSONLY was great and taking it back. Got the Works Connection HD plate on the way.
