Per my installation of the skid plate, I have no such contact or concerns.

Same. Nothing is close to the plate at all. Not to mention, everything is snug, with no wiggle.

Wes, you can watch my video and maybe get a better view.

Here is the reason that I posted about rubbing of hoses and harnesses.
This is a screenshot of a video on the Thrashin website and following that is the video from which the screenshot is taken.

They must have something else going on. That is not typical. As you can see here, there are no dangling wires.

Brandon is correct. Area is clear.

Those Thrashin boys are constantly working on their bikes. Perhaps, Juan just over looked tidying up after his R&R or something of that nature.

Will they interfere with my mission in life to take all speed bumps at great speed?

I'm going to order one today. I do have a plastic electrical connector that hangs down on the left front side. Going to reroute or zip tie it up so it runs parallel to the radiator. I looked on the dealership floor, some seem to have that and some don't.

This video clearly shows one of the white wiring harness hold down clips (some call it 'christmas tree') not secured so that's part of the problem here.
