New Sump Guard for R1200GS wasserhead

[Mark Hooton]

Thanks for the input at the Cotswolds bash (like `shut up` and `stop snoring` and `put ya pants back on`)

I did turn up with the prototype sump guard, mostly for Nuts to take a gander (NuttyGSER) but also for any positive opinions and here is the final design incorporating those kind suggestions.

I will make them to order if anyone wants one please pm me but please be aware that I`m on crutches now for six very long sad weeks

Stainless steel under satin black powder coating - smaller than the previous GS sump guard - made to last and endure a good kicking

Nuts - as promised............

Looks good mate. Can you wheel yourself back outside and get some pictures a bit further away?

mate, I can`t put any weight on the knackered bone end for 6 weeks - the best I can do is ask someone to wheel the bike out, allow me to photo it and then wheel it back in.

I`ll try to get an innocent passing stranger tmoz to do it - can`t ask the wife, she will only drop it...................

Soz - I really am knackered

I`d guess I`d say this but it does look much nicer than the prototype

Understood mate, no problem.

I thought with you being an ex Royal killing Machine this would only warrant as a mere flesh wound

Keep taking the tablets and stay off it ,

Time is the killer for an active person,
just use it to think up other farkles for bikes.
get well soon mate

Well it was a year before I actually decided to do anything about it and yes five weeks to go and the sticks get burnt. I had the op on Friday, was given a sick note for six weeks but was back at work Monday morning crippling about like a fiend (albeit a slow fiend)

Thanks for the good wishes mate

Here`s the link - and I`ve dropped it by £40, which you can pay me in red wine at the next bash

But don`t tell everyone I`ve chopped forty quid off it...............

That looks the biz.... and it's compatible with your front protector.

Looks like a winner to me.

So, is that £40 off the £149 (£109), or does the £149 include the £40 off?
