Because of a poor factory frame paint job, I was forced to repaint my frame early and was forced to remove the underbelly covering to do that and it was in one piece. In general these enclosed underbellies are a two edged sword with the biggest downside is that they allow for hiding a plethera of issues and sloppy workmanship. In the end I'm glad I did since I fixed a HOST of issues from dangling wires and ducting to poorly attached and supported holding tanks. In the process I decided to bite the bullet and sectionalize my underbelly so I could easily remove sections and at the same replaced all metal such as screws with either nylon or aluminum material so rust/corrosion would not be such an issue and re routed my gas lines for better under frame access. I took extensive pictures and have described what I did in the following album and the meat is in the captions to each picture.
