Shock Covers

[prop]

Bike hit the 50k mile just before xmas. So I decided to spruce it up a bit. Painted it black (it was red) powder coated tank panels and rear sub frame.
I have fitted new WP Suspension but the rear cover from the original will not fit. I am not keen on huggers but need to protect it, so do you folks know where I can get a cover which would fit ?

Thanks

Carbon stuff

Have a look at this site, loads of stuff. There may be something, or even contact them they could possably make you something up.
Warning though its good quality and you may end up spending a few bob [URL="http://www.sandbarcomposites.co.uk/index.php?content=carb_bmw&PHPSESSID=1ae59daf1f9d96bea2aae64c3fa2f1ef#a"]http://www.sandbarcomposites.co.uk/index.php?content=carb_bmw&PHPSESSID=1ae59daf1f9d96bea2aae64c3fa2f1ef#a[/URL]

carbon bits

Ted, thanks for that link my credit card might not agree.

TD, I love the bike which explains the mileage, the cost to change last year put me off, so it’s a case of looking after. I added the adv tank and screen last year and been very pleased.

Have you looked at Bullwinkle's thread about a cut down MX front mudguard? I have done the same, just waiting for a chance to try it in the rain now.
Otherwise, Acerbis do a universal shock guard for MX bikes, I'm sure all the aftermarket plastics manufacturers will do the same. You just have to find a way of fitting it.

Hi Prop, nice pics outside Whitehaven harbour there Any more side on pics? Did you buy new suspension or get the old stuff re done?
As for the shock cover you could try a neoprene cover such as this http://atv.off-road.com/atv/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=192259 easliy enough made yourself

BTW happy 40th for yesterday!

adv bits

£700 for the tank and all bits and I think it was just over £200 for screen and winglets. I had the hp2 guards and just added the engine and tank guards later.

Hope these pics work and thanks for the link. I did buy new suspension. I was going ohlins but had been happy with the std wp it was just tired. I got the emulsion front and 4014 spin on the rear.
I only fitted them at the weekend and have only had a blast over hardnott . I am very impressed with them.

Very nice! I`m looking at getting the standard stuff rebuilt to suit my weight more by Triple D in Kendal as he`s a WP expert & he told me that it would make a difference just getting them re built even before adding springs. I`m still undecided as it involves spending money! But I suppose with doing 50k miles you`ve got an excuse

Alright Jim thanks book me down for one of those Boddys cans next time I`m in

what about velcro sewn to a strip of neoprene or similar - use it like a condom rather than a hugger.

 

[R1150GuS]

Maybe those would fit.
