removing the engine protector

The crash bar had caused me a lot of headaches before because it destroyed the mounts for the engine protector due to vibration only after a few thousend miles after being mounted. Here you can get an impression of all the damage done

I used this over-sized screw with washers to fasten the engine protector on the remains of the original mounting point.
