Crash bars, engine guards, sliders Rocket 3 R/ GT

Added the T-Rex crash guard on the 3r this weekend. Happy with how they look, but really, pictures don't do it good. When you see the bike in person the guards don't really stand out that much, but some pictures make it look larger than it is. The view from the seated position is how it really feels.

Can you access the oil filter without removing the bars?

Wow, looking at all the pics, it sure looks like you have to take the entire assembly off (including engine bolt, which I hate the thought of repeated torquing's) in order to change the oil. Love to hear for anyone who knows otherwise.

I sent an email to T-Rex, and got this reply:

Hi,

Yes, unfortunately, you will need to remove the engine guard to perform the oil change.

Thanks,

talk about a "WTF" design decision!!! I'm guessing they didn't even realize what they were doing. They could have fairly easily made the front crossmember as a separate piece that unbolts from the side bars. Even if you don't do your own oil changes, you might very well find out your dealer won't touch it either.
