Mod to Bash Plate on XChallenge

Daithi · Jan 31, 2008

I had already started to make a whole new bash plate for the XChallenge when
it occured to me to modify the existing one guard.

What I did was cut a piece of cardboard the right shape, cut that out of 3mm
aluminium, and beat the livin' daylights out of it with a plastic mallet.

The Water Pump getting a smack from a rock was the biggest worry, but since
the original guard is still behind, there's a double skin protecting the pump.

The hammer marks are there to give it the rugged look. :augie

I've noticed that the sump plug hangs fairly low (level with sump guard

) on 650Xs. Has this been an issue yet with any that ride off road?

Funnily enough TouraTwat do a 'slimline' version. Never had any problems with the original one but I've fitted one, just in case

No bother with it yet, but if you look at the bottom pic you'll see where I gave
the guard a thump, sump plug isn't stickin' out now.

Well impressed with mine too, all it needs is a big top-box and it'll be perfect. :thumb2
