Bushguards - Fittings ??

Alex B · Jul 24, 2002

Last week I ordered a bushguard for my GS1150 from a local dealer. It arrived in a few days and was sent by post to my home address. When I opened the box the bushguard was there but no fittings !! There's spaces for 6 self-tapper screws and it looks like they need black plastic caps. Does anyone know if they're supposed to come with the screws or is this an "extra" order ? Really cheesed off that the parts guy didn't mention them and cheesed off at myself for assuming they all came as part of the kit !!

Anyone out there who has bought a bushguard for their GS1150 ?

Thanks

Alex B.

Gazza, Gauloises,

Thanks for the info.

Were these parts obtained from BMW or were you referring to stuff you'd obtained from general parts accessory garages (or even good old B&Q) ??

Hi Alex
bolts from bmw nuts & Washers from Sunseekers
I had some stainless bolts but they did'nt look right
anyway when the bolts corrode they'll match the fork brace

Thanks for the info. I guess the allen bolts were from C&W ?

How did you "cover" the bolt heads so that the finish matched the bushguard (from your picture I can't see any exposed bolts/nuts).

I might swing by the Sammy Miller Museum on Sunday. I noticed that some of the lads from Cirencester way were planning a ride out with a stop at the SMM at about 11 - 12 I guess.

I hope you'll get this message in time !! I'll be at Sammy Millers with my better half between 11 - 12. It's a good place to stop for a coffee and a bun.

Thanks very much for the offer of the bits - you're a gentleman and a scholar - I did get some bits on your advice from your previous e-mail. It turns out that B&Q do dome-headed chrome bolts which perfectly fit the spaces in the Bushguard (almost made to measure).

With some good washers and lock nuts the whole unit went on a treat.

Hope to see you there. I won't have any difficulty identifying your bike !

Alex.

PS Andy Melton, Bakerman and others should be at the museum around 11 ish I'd guess.
