Have you used it yet? and if so what is the issue?

What kind of surface do you need to clean? Flat, slightly sloped, very sloped, high in center, asphalt, dirt, gravel, etc.

Some people swear by having both. The side ones are usually adjusted down about 1/16th of an inch lower than rears. Depends on surface. I don't need both sets.

One answer does not fit all.

BTW, keeping skids properly adjusted is very important.

You can checkout Armorskids, they seem to be much longer than some traditional skids and many people rave about them.

Or the ArmorSkids. Be certain to get the Honda-specific 60mm spacing ones with the relief notch for the scraper bolt.
