This is a very sturdy part that protects a vulnerable area on my 2010 KLX 110L. Without it, there have been many reports of case damage due to torn out cross brace bolts that secure the foot pegs and side stand mount to the engine. It was a very straightforward install. A couple of hints: 1. Use a bungee cord over the top of the seat and secured to each footpeg to keep the cross brace in place. 2. Do not use a stand during final fit up or fasteners may bind. 3. Fit up all fasteners hand tight to insure alignment, then tighten 4 casing bolts before the two rear large bolts.

Oh yeah, during an oil filter change, you only need to loosen the cradle mounting fasteners a bit, then remove the forward two bolts to slide out the belly skid plate sandwiched between the cradle and the engine casing so you can get access to the oil filter. Very easy.
