Frame protector

[robp]

I have noticed that my boot is rubbing the paint off the frame on the left hand side of the bike. Touratech do a frame protector in either black or aluminium. Has anyone fitted one of these?

Probably a lot cheaper to buy a roll of aluminium tape (AKA speed tape) and apply as required.

Thanks John, probably true

I used a couple of lengths of rubber hose, slit along their length and then held to the frame with cable ties.

For touching up the paint, Hammerite silver spray on is a pretty good colour match.

Cheers Mouse, much appreciated.

Silver duct tape fitted to the tubular frame where your boot hits and same again on the heel guard.
Done with a bit care and you can't tell.

Bang on! Saw a Clio today with the obligatory 8 inch dia exhaust exiting through a noce mock carbon hole in the rear spoiler. Summed it up for me!

Just what ya want!

Hi Robp………

Work in the motor trade, pic shows a product from 3M, CLEAR adhesive tape! Used on cars, inner sills etc. I have got it not only where you have ya prob but put in down my front forks (top bit) Also you can put it on paint work to stop it chipping.

Superb stuff, only prob do not know the price freebie from a rep! Check out where you live for a automotive paint stockists, might be one called Brown Bros Ltd nr you.

Good luck,
TD

PS,

Think it put extra 20MPH on my GS! NOT!!!!

Yeah right, it's another BMW fault
I am getting increasingly pissed by the whining 1200gs owners crowd...
