moose bash plate question

I've recently installed a Moose bash plate to my A3. I notice that the plate
seems to cover the balance chain adjuster area. I plan to cut a section out
that roughly approximates the size of the holes that cover the rest of the
bash plate. This should
I was curious if those of you that have the Moose bash plate have similarly
modified your machines, or have you found a way to adjust your balancer
chain that allows you to get a driver in there behind the bash plate.

I carved a notch in the Moose to accomodate a driver. When the plate is
mashed flat to the underside and front of the frame, there was no way to
get access to the adjusting bolt. But based on what Kurt said, I wonder if
Moose has had different dimensions on various bash plates.

Thanks to all the folks that answered my question.
Well, I solved the conundrum last night. I got a sheet of paper and traced
out the shape of one of the holes in the skid plate. I then cut out the hole
and used the sheet of paper with the hole as a template to draw a circle in
the area where the plate interferes with the balancer adjuster. Then I filed
and hacksawed it to suit. Looks great- almost like it came from the factory
like that.

Ric,
How I envy you, My dad lives in Omak, Wash. which is not far from Winthrop.
The last time I visited him I borrowed a XR-600 and rode all over that area.
