Replacing

What a load of B.S. (not from you -- from the dealer) !!!  I rode to, at and
back from the Rallye (680 miles of mostly freeway each direction -- a total
of almost 2,000 miles in 4 days) without my belly pan.  I've had the bike up
to a ton and a quarter without the belly pan (chasing Dilbert Dawg on his
ZX-9R) and sustained that speed long enough to know whether or not it was
stable.  It has been as solid as a rock!

If someone experience instability then I'd look elsewhere for the cause.
