Thanks, its an early 3rd Gen Surf

there's 3 bolts along the front end. two accessible in recesses through oblong holes in the middle where the two sections of bash plate join ( difficultish to see ) and 2 more at the back end.
I don't have a pic and this is from memory, so I might have missed one, but this is not rocket surgery, a good look and you ll find them.

There's also hooks on the front edge so you can hold the back end up and remove the last bolts, then manouvre the skidplate off the hooks and out without dropping the skidplate on your head. 7 bolts, and the hooks, pretty easy. Don't cross thread the bolts when you put it back on.
