Re: Thought i would try these - ogri48 - 01-12-16
Makes sense mate, they look well thought out too
Re: Thought i would try these - slimwilly - 01-12-16
I have fitted them, fit good, just a bit more protection as I now do track days on it ,
Re: Thought i would try these - devilsyam - 01-12-16
real value is in not using them

They look good, how much were they? If you don't mind me asking?
I looked into the R&G ones that cover the whole stator and clutch casing but they pretty much worked out more expensive than originals ??

The China man brought them on his bicycle , well it took about as long, 6 weeks
Re: Thought i would try these - Dudeofrude - 04-12-16
Certainly not a bad price. You'll have to stick up some pics when you've fitted them so we can see what they look like ?
Re: Thought i would try these - ogri48 - 04-12-16
I'm with you Bill, a spill isn't always our fault, sometimes fate decidesit for us, anything that helps protect your pride and joy, especially if it's cheap, makes proper sense. I bought a mint zzr1100 with 6k on the clock that has never been dropped a few months ago as I want a useable modern classic. First thing I did once I'd got it running and cleaned up, serviced, new rubber, carbs overhauled, tank cleaned out etc was buy some cheap damaged bodywork that I sprayed in 2k black along with second hand exhaust cans so I can use it and put the nice bodywork on come summer. Full fairings make great engine protectors ;-)
Re: Thought i would try these - ogri48 - 04-12-16
Shite Bodywork and cans came in at under £150 needed lots of filling and plastic welding( with a soldering gun lol)
Re: Thought i would try these - ogri48 - 04-12-16
Ready for primer..had to melt washers in to replace broken lugs
Re: Thought i would try these - ogri48 - 04-12-16
2k primer
Re: Thought i would try these - ogri48 - 04-12-16
Flatted down then lots of coats of 2k gloss black, piled on deep and heavy, want it so no lacquer and if I get a scratch it will just polish out
Re: Thought i would try these - ogri48 - 04-12-16
More foccing flat ting working from 240,400,600,800,1000,1200,1500,2000 ,2500 and finally polishing compound and a buffer..
Re: Thought i would try these - ogri48 - 04-12-16
Viva la crash panels..:-)
Re: Thought i would try these - ogri48 - 04-12-16
I actually far prefer the all black look to the original 90's shell suit it was wearing in truth :-)
Re: Thought i would try these - dazza - 04-12-16
Good job there Ogri. :thumbup Fantastic idea melting a washer to replace a broken lug.
Re: Thought i would try these - ogri48 - 04-12-16
Necessity is the mother of invention as they say mate, I didn't have a clue how to fix the missing lug til I was using the soldering iron to meld the cracked panels and thought" ah...I know what I'll do..";-) once I'd got a washer heated up and pressed into each side I filled it all with melted plastic from a bit of old abs fairing then shaped it with the dremel :-)

Nothing can save that poor bike from the rider :lol
Re: Thought i would try these - slimwilly - 06-12-16
Well I do look after it, now I am using it on the track I have bought a spare set of wheels with the wet tyres on. Front fairing, and looking for others a d will do a paint job, filter and oil just turned up, let's have some fun next spring, and believe me it's fun
