    flatland redesigned and fixed that prob cheeze

    this is actually a GOOD thing...as it will help protect those frame rails. if they ended right the edge it wouldn't provide as much protection.

    Well, I am glad Flatland took care of that, it's the sign of a good company that will listen to their customers and strive to make their products better! :D

    Flatlands fixed what? You still can't change the oil filter without loosening 3 of the bolts....

    Sure you can!! Does yours have the little half moon cutout right by the filter? Just by the upper hole on the wing? Filter comes right out.

    I must have the version 1.0 model...the half moon and the Uranus end of the filter don't line up. 3 of 4 bolts out and it slides out..oh well.
