Still not sure why Yamaha didn't do this at the factory.
Oh have no doubts, I spent the better part of an hour making a template, measuring, checking, double checking, and re checking. Even then I couldn't physically make the first cut. Good friend took the saw and gouged the fiberglass in the center of the cutout area and said "See, now you have to fix it".Christ, man.

Ha! Now that's a friend. Logical as well to force your hand.Oh have no doubts, I spent the better part of an hour making a template, measuring, checking, double checking, and re checking.

All the prep time paid off. Took about 20min to cut it out, and the door fit perfectly, looks centered, and about as close to a factory installation as I could hope for.

@seanmclean how many trash cans do you need?? Didn’t you post another one in your head compartment awhile back?? Or, did I steal that idea from someone else, lol? I can’t find the original post for anything right now, but here’s the one that I used.Sometimes my favorite mods are the simplest and cheapest. This one ran me about three bucks. I don't know if I'm mentally deficient or something, but I simply could not get this cargo net to securely hold a trash can. Added a hook to the can to loop the cargo net through, now its nice and secure.
