Ricochet skid plat and SW Motech crash bars

I currently have a Ricochet skid plate on my Terra and my crash bars have just arrived. It doesn't look like they will fit unless I cut up the skid plate. Does anybody else have this combo?

I had to put a little notch on the ricochet to make clearance for the left side crash bar.

Thanks guys!

I have the ricochet plate and just bought the Altrider bars, they fit without any modification just an fyi

I just bent the edge down, as shown in pics.

I've got the same Ricochet skid plate/SW Mo-tech crash bar setup on mine... I cut the top edge of the plate to allow clearance. Looks like bending the edge works too!

I installed everything this weekend. My dremel with cutoff wheel cut through that skid plate surprisingly well. Hopefully I'll never use the crash bars, but its good piece of mind knowing that they're there.
