Those were some really good questions.

Yes.

I just found a video on Instagram from last year showing someone who had installed a Dowatek linkage guard, but it isn't the one that they sell now. It looks very similar to the one that I made. I'm thinking it must have been their prototype version. Check this out:

I would really like to see how it looks on your bike. Would you post a pic?

I've had to order a few fasteners from the other side of the country, so it's probably going to be next week before I receive them. I'm going to follow your suggestion about using the bushings. Also, in place of the factory skid plate bolts, I'm going to use much longer ones (stainless steel...

You sound like a very knowledgeable and talented engineer. Thank you for posting your well thought-out response. I would never have thought to make a slot on the bottom of the screw in order to get it out if it breaks. That's just brilliant! I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say...

In the first pic you can see there are about five full turns left. The factory skid plate bolt takes up about the same amount. EDIT: I just went back and checked. With the longer bolts there are only about 3 1/2 full turns until it bottoms out. At 1.25 threads per mm, that equals 4.375 mm...

Here are a few more photos test fitting the skid plate above the factory skid plate: I still need to buy two shorter bolts and a flexible socket extension so that I can tighten them. I should be able to finish up with this on Sunday. The way it's now mounted it doesn't even touch the...

I'm already planning something. I'll let you know how it turns out tomorrow.

Unfortunately, Dowatek does not ship to any country on this side of the pond.

I got tired of waiting for someone to sell a linkage guard/skid plate, so I made my own from a very thin (3.5mm-4mm) high density polyethylene (HDPE) cutting board. EDIT: Now that I've had time to think about this I can see the flaw with this design, i.e. the bolts are going to...

I agree 100%.

Once the product arrives at U.S. Customs, I believe the customer is responsible for paying an additional 15% (or more) import fee (Customs duty plus broker fee). The sellers will not usually tell their customers this information and we don't find that out until we're already on the hook for the...

With it weighing 50 pounds more than the Ultra Bee HP and having mediocre suspension, I don’t see why anyone would buy this bike. The Arctic Leopard EXE 880, which has been on the market a couple years, has more power, weighs less, and has a removable battery.

That’s nice, but they won’t ship any products to the US.

How much is the import fee on your skidplate?

No. The rotor guard has the caliper mount integrated into it.

You may want to recount your torx bits. In both of your pictures, there are clearly three torx bits.
