Sump Guards

[mike wright]

Im looking for a much heavier duty sump guard bash plate than the standard GS one on my 1100. The best one I have seen has Best Rest cut into it I think although cant find a picture anywhere.

Is there any available or any links anyone knows of except the Touratech one please?

I would've thought that the original was pretty good due to it being a two part. with the steel under-plate and aluminium over. Even if the aluminium part was to suffer heavy damage isn't it likely to act as a 'crush zone' - reducing the forces that will then be stopped by the steel plate.

I looked at the touratech and imho it looks like a weight saving exercise with little or no extra strength compared with the original.

Surely the bash plate is only as strong as the bolts that hold it anyway.. and as strong as the metal those same bolts are connected to in the sump itself.
