Yeah, one of the side rails of the steel crate was pushed against the radiator shroud and it also had rubbed a spot on the pipe guard. Just some very cosmetic stuff that you really can't see unless you're up real close. There will be lots more wrong with it after my first ride today!

Mine had a fork lift dent also.  Pushed a dent into the front tire.  Just into the rubber
no scuff marks.  I've been looking at skid plates, trying to figure on easy to fit and the most protection.  Good looking bike.  (Looks just like mine.)

Service Honda offers a full skid plate as one of their options but I just went with the factory glide plate. I think that the pipe should protect most of the bike. Hmmm... although I do ride Nevada (moon craters)?

AJ:
nice bike  :-D

Kxpeggers,
 my father and brother live in Nevada. NW part , fallon and carson/dade city area.
I've ridden a bit at *moonrocks* near reno..... fun area.

hope you enjoy the ride!

cr37:
Has anyone tried a glide plate from a 450? do you have to trim a little?
