I feel like a monkey with three thumbs on each hand

If you want some piccys of what I did to mine pm me an email address and I will send them to you. They are back off the bike at the moment as I had them mirror polished ans with the mods I carried out need buffing up again.

I give up

They have been sat in the box since, waiting for me to get another morning/afternoon/day to do nothing but fiddle.....

Someone visited and fitted the guards for you ?????? Which you then removed.

 

[King Rat]

Not quite. Popeye very kindly cam eover an dwe got one offered up, but the bolt was a bit tight on the side of the thread, so we didn't fit it/them....just want to take the strain off the thread a bit first. Spent spare time putting a shed up....and painting it. Kayaking tomorrow, so I will do it one day before the weekend - last weekend was the wheelie event at Elvington, so tied up all weekend working. Crash protectors are not top priority at themoment, it goes quite happily without them on.

Fit them at your leisure, let them expand and contract with the engine getting hot and cold and you'll find they shape themselves perfectly.
Yours guards are no different to the near 80 sets already fitted across the world.

anyone notice the LHS guard sits slightly further off the rocker than the RHS?

Or is it just mine?

Drop it a couple of times on the left
that ought to even things up

[elevensies]

or could it be i have dropped it too many times on the right






i must be going too fast, it feels like tomorrow

 

[elevensies]

but seriously? does it??


i was thinking of taking them off and re something or other with them, then putting them back on.

but then i thought why waste a whole 10 minuets of my life when i could be doing something else?

It's a design feature

 

[elevensies]

It's a design feature

i did wonder, so i thought it was for

1)to get a pack of fags in there for the journey
2)the holding of a foreign phrase book
3)somewhere to keep your toast warm
4)if you cant fit it, to give you a bit of a chance with BIG hammer

Thats a complete lie, mine still took the origonal 10 mins to fit after my service at the weekend, you do have to fit the front bolt, then pull the back around to line up the rear, then I just pushed up the underneath one and screwed them in, but when I first fitted them I never bothered with the underneath one.

I used clear household silicon in a tube to glue the rubber strips, because thats what I had.

Head Guard

As tested yesterday at rockingham by dave ridgley (taz) - Hows the elbow Dave

Elbow is fine thanks Neil, Mine was a little out of shape after rockingham off but straightened up nicely with a copper/hide mallat and slipped straight back on ( did take a chunk out out of the front mount though).
