Oil changes are going to be messy. The drain plug isn't blocked, but removing the oil filter and screens will drip all over the skid plate. A drip tray is a good idea if it can be worked out, but I figured I would just live with the mess.
Removing the skid plate would be a pain. The rear bolts are easy, but the front ones are hard to reach. I only got one or two good clicks on my socket wrench reaching through from the left side. Or you could pull the exhaust every time and lift the front bracket off the cross bar.
