I'll take mine in in the near future. I want a real fix so I'll likely have to mod something up

Interesting development I ordered a new floorboard and look what Honda is doing now. The one on the left is the old floorboard I took off with my fix.

The new one shows they are now putting a heat shield in the area that burnt through. So to say this was caused by bad gas is ridiculous! Honda obviously knows there is a heat problem here.

I think Honda needs to give all of us protoype buggies to test, it would save them a lot of money?

Their lawyers will argue Honda knows there may at times be a heat issue caused by the customer purchasing bad gas. To which Honda is offering a solution.
