You probably already got one but if you did not, I would replace the stock oil drain plug with a low profile drain plug.

Where's the beer bottle opener slot?

Thanks, what brand and where should I get it?
I got mine from RockyMountainatvmc.com
The manufacturer is Tusk.

You can also get one from EagleMike.

All that thing needs now is a snow plow attachment so you can clear your driveway. :D

Eagle Mike also has an inexpensive option...has allen and hex
I have a question regarding the certified ballistics protection of the pictured device:

What caliber of Bullet does it stop? 🤣

As they say over in the UK,"That's some serious kit!"

Nice!

Being aluminium...I think .22 LR would go through it like a hot knife through butter...

It sure is mate!...I live in the tropics and it is always hot, very hot or *&$#ing hot - if it was me I would drill more (small) holes in it to get more air flow over the engine. But, notwithstanding that...it looks to me like a bad-ass piece of kit...may your journey on the bike bring you joy!

Nothing a couple layers of Kevlar couldn't remedy.

If you have the money - they make kevlar bash plates; Yamaha T700 Carbon+Kevlar Bash Plate
And for a bike that's nearly impossible to find at a dealer too. Stupid.
Kevlar would just splinter on a hard impact... as would carbon. The materials themselves are durable, but the resin is going to shatter. I'm not sure why anyone would choose anything other than steel or heavy aluminum for that specific use.
