Suzuki Bash plate
« on: May 30, 2013, 22:43:50 »
Have received my bash plate (Nicked it off Locky's bike when he wasn't looking  :shy: )

but where the bracket mounts on the right hand side- there is no mount point, the bracket hovers over a recessed bolt that goes all the way through the engine.

question is:

Is that recessed bolt the mount point?

Does the OEM Suzuki bash plate come with a longer bolt like with the engine bars?

If yes to both these, I'm off to get me a new bolt.

2nd opinion - Yes! and Yes!

Is it the one that's right behind the brake lever? In which case it is the mount point, must be like the crashbars then...

yep, Locky just informed me that his bolt is longer than mine  :neen:

edit:
Finally I can take that sodding comment about the Moto-Agora Bash plate off my Signature!  :lala:

I noticed you used the word "hover" in your original post. Old habits die hard don't they.

well as the old one is surplus to requirements and is in a state I couldn't with good conscious ask any money for it I was going to donate it to another strommer, like myself when I started out who is in need.
so we'd need to make sure they uphold the mowing duties. (bastards)

when I get round to taking a pic I'll post in in the for sale section. but fitted it looks like he pic on my fuelly page. its taken a bit more of a beating on st6 but still mostly in the same condition.

all I'd want is the postage, which shouldn't be much as it doesn't even weigh as much as a tin of beans.
