Hi all, I have a 1/4 of a million pounds of laser cutting technology at my disposal along with significant fabrication facilites and craftsmen also all at my disposal (honest).

I am the MD of my own company www.cymarc.co.uk and apart from making stuff for the MOD blah blah blah I make bike parts as I have an R1200GS (and a CB1300) - you`ll see a crud catcher I have made on the forum in the toyz bits.

I have been a biker for nearly 30 years and do a lot of work, cheaply, for bikers because a) I can b) I don`t need the money (honest again, I`m loaded - don`t believe me come and visit! :D).

If you get stuck give me a shout on mark@cymarc.co.uk and if I can`t help you I`ll point you in the right direction.

I`ll happily help Tossers but, sorry, no w*nkers :)

I'm not trying to defend his attitude, but I'm sure he won't be interested in any requests for help from this site now.
 
Bloke does some good bits for GSs if you'd care to look further than your keyboard.

Sometimes the urge to be a clever shite just fecks some of you over.

Maybe it is the beer:beer: speaking
 
You post in UKGSer you're gonna have the piss taken.
However, Mark has made a very generous offer and being something of a newbie doesn't deserve too much flak as we haven't the measure of the man quite yet.
I don't think his post was meant as bragging so much as explaining that he can make some stuff we might want, at a nice price.

fantastic.

OK maybe the head was a bit big to ambitous to ask you to try and make I mean hell it must cost a fortune i still think its cool to see i dont come accross many. Ide put it in my rear garden it would be a good talking point:D

I think its great to see new companies making different products of the same theme and new ground breaking products:clap :clap :clap also its good to see an MD here can you imagine having a one to one here with the MD of TT
(perhaps he is here maybe lying low as some one you would never guess who att ? a moderator)
Getting back to GS related things what else do you make for the GS other than the crud catcher and it realy does look good i must admit it looks really classy and has good function too. (but i do see a design flaw in it do you state not for off road use?)

It would be realy nice to see what other fantastic wonderfull things that you make for the GS range others here have mentioned that you make bit'S for the G.S. is there a link to these products.

I would also like to add its fantastic and so thoughtfull and tactile for you to offer a discount to ukgser's :bow its hard times for people and christmas is around the corner and "every little helps" have you got your tree up yet? I have a marketing idea for you on a smaller scale i see your products vary what do you think of this i think there realy big in america, can you imagine how many of these babies you could make if that big head was melted? wow:thumb it could be a big seller i know you want one :augie

what do you think ?

looking forward to hearing about your exciting gs product range!!:beerjug:
all the best :aidan
 
Nice offer!!

Could have done with your help when I had to make a deflector to stop my numberplate melting after de-catting.
 
Hi Mark,

How about a 1200 head protector made out of nice thick plate. I'd like something like the cast ones that Steptoe had done for the 1150s but he didn't answer my last query about whether he would make some.

My main aim, whoever provides the solution, is to provide a sacrificial lump of metal which both takes the wear from the slide if the bike goes down, and protects the head cover from being damaged. When you're 400 miles from the nearest BuMW dealer having a broken head cover could mean far too much walking and a shade less fun.

Mounting etc would have to be carefully considered as reliance on the 6mm set screws that BMW use is reputedly a waste of time. If the bike goes down, either the screws bend/break or the casting gets damaged.

Happy to discuss any thoughts on design etc.

Cheers

Dave
