I've never had a grate in mine, just liked it riding loose. I do know that I've been told it's best to modify the sxr grate over the Yamaha, pm user Wrighteous, he's been through a couple different ones. I plan to get one on there eventually.
And those are definitely the long rickter length tubes. Nice hull Mark, you'll love it!
