Swingarm protection

[Nutty]

Thought I'd post this up, as I was looking for something to protect the swingarm from my boots, and thanks to Ding Dong's recommendation have found a great product.

It's called Eazi Grip Pro. It's a tank grip, but you can buy it in sheets, then cut to size. It's very thick, but if you heat it up with a hairdryer it becomes softer and easier to work with. Heat it again once it's applied, and it should stay put.

That's a neat idea. You could use that in place of any of the expensive protectors? What's that round thing under the centre stand? Is it a turntable?

You could do. There's 2 sheets in a pack, one for the swing arm, the other could do the cylinder covers. I mullered one sheet though!

That's a turntable mat, it's a great bit of kit.

Good job, it looks like it's made for it. Found the turntable mat, thanks.

Nutty,
Thanks for that. Looks like useful stuff for several places on different bikes.

It makes turning a big bike around, a doddle.

Why is it called Triple Black, when half the bike is still grey and/or silver??

On none of my 4 GSes have my boots ever scratched the cardan tunnel - this is just bling isn't it?

That's so they can bring out a quadruple black in the future as an upgrade to the triple black.

For a laugh. This is the German sense of humour at its finest.

If you ride on your toes, it's easily done. Or do you ride with your feet hanging off the front of the pegs, clown style?

This extended heal guard might work too?

Or you could try changing your boots !!
