We have a couple rainy days to justify shop time so I adjusted the valves on my trusty Zong. This was also an opportunity to modify the CSC aluminum bash plate. Taking a cue from this forum I reversed the front mounting bolts so the nuts will now be facing the front wheel and thus easier to work with. This turned out to be a super easy mod:

Then I cut down the top part of the bash plate so it can be rotated enough to change the oil.

So here's the end product. I might go back to the band saw and chop off just a tad more metal so the plate will rotate a few more degrees. Still, this is a much better situation than having to remove the plate each time I want to do an oil change.
