Frame plugs

[Nutty]

I'm proud of the fact that I've plugged all the holes on the frame for about £3 in total, and find it amazing that people would pay over £100 for what is essentially the same product, albeit with a logo on.

The only frame holes I'm struggling with is the large angular holes at the top of the frame by the seat. I've got a couple of 42mm caps, but once they're in, the only way of getting them out would be to drill a small hole, I guess.

What has everyone else used, if anything, for the large holes?

Same again and at that price I just stick a scalpel in to help remove the plug and throw them in the bin! Disposable well at 26p who cares

Anyone willing to embrace my ignorance and let me know what sizes of plug I would need for my R1200 GS TE?

That's good info. If you have already completed the task can you give the details of sizes and quantities? Cheers

I just got 2 of these for the large holes mentioned above, but needed to put a bit of rubber in between one of the grooves to ensure a tight fit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282108209...49&var=581066900542&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

4 of these for the small holes http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Round-Pla...hash=item33a5596408:m:mCCAe_H7SJmSOekmKdQfzGw

Sorry, but my eBay history won't give me the dimensions of the ones I ordered, but just measure the holes, and you'll be OK.

I had to use a metal file to file them down a bit, but they look great.
