Final drive housing protection

[Voyager61]

Having discovered these just a tad too late to avoid minor damage to my FD housing ... I now have the Touratech item on order and will install it when Bike Medic have sorted the damage ...

Are the TT ones really £20 more than the R&G ones ???

FFS, TT ripoff again ! (they do some nice stuff, but their prices are unbelieveable)

TT and Wunderlich buy in a lot of their products from other manufacturers and have it branded with their name and add a mark up.

R&G make the crash protectors and brand them for TT, you pay the difference.

I bought a set of Acerbis brush guards for the 80 g/s last week complete with a fitting kit and spoilers from an Acerbis dealer which cost £58.85 yet the same product with the TT logo would have cost £102.44!

unless u really geat off on the touratit name i would cancel the order and go for the RG or ebay version - it will do the same job in the end.

Have a closer look ... they are different designs ... the TT item is longer (protrudes more) than the R&G version.

I'll stick with the TT one ...

Touratech drive shaft protectors

Much more substantial than the R&G offering IMHO:

I haven't put the TT sticker on yet

try- www.motorradonline.co.uk

this company have been selling them through ebay. £13.99 including postage.
I fitted one last week and it seems up to the job.

By comparison the TT item, pure function aside, is a thing of beauty!

It wouldn't take me long to ruin it with gravel rash whilst fording/off roading.

Nope, don't like it as it sticks out tooooo far. The R&G will do the job just as well and cheaper to boot.
