Bash Plate?

[dirtydog]

I'm looking for a good alternative to the TT bash plate for the 12ADV.

I've been waiting for mine from TT now since the beginning of August (no surprise there )

After a phone call to them yesterday (again), I've been told that BMW had a problem with the current design, so TT are having to re-design it

So, I guess the new one should be ready by 2010, ready to ship by 2011

What's out there for this bike?

Cheers

They do other protective plates as well. Don't have one myself but have their Cyclepump and that is an excellent piece of kit.

Pretty solid and very rugged.

So what's the problem with the TT bash plate?, the one's i have seen look really good, yet the bash plate from Moto-ap says, This plate kit fastens to existing bolt holes and the original exhaust system, Now I would have thought not to fasten to the exhaust IMHO

I don't know, I was told that BM weren't happy with it

You know what TT are like, they're full of shit and excuses for most of the time

I'm waiting for a Wunderlich bash plate that's on back order. Not really sure what b-plate works best, but the Wunderlich looks cool.

I knocked my standard 1200GS bashplate off on Monday (steep step down on rocky path) - (hopefully) doesn't seem to have done any damage to bashplate or engine: the four plastic mounts all sheared, seemingly absorbing the shock and saving the rest of the bike.

Seems to me it did the job perfectly - (I'll wait to see when the bike goes to the garage next week, though). Why would I be better off with an aftermarket bashplate?
