DROP TO CLEAR HOSES:


TO SHORT AT REAR:


REAR MOUNTS HERE:



















had to cut out a piece to clear the water pump. just needs filling , lid trimmed to suit , rear mounting tabs added & powder coating.

Veetwo, I would like to see your piccies but just see some red X-ses. Please can you do something about that? (maybe sent them to me??)
Cheers

Hi Koen ,

There just pics of the build up of the SE bash plate that I made .
He sent me his OME bash plate so I could get the mounting points and it was built up from there as I didnt have a bike to work of I would send it to him, he would mark it out and let me know what was needed and sent it back , its not easy but it all worked out well with the finished product.

Cheers Matt

Not yet but if you want one it can be done just say the word
I can add it to the list 640 Adv , 950 SE , 990 Adv , BMW 450 R and DR 650 soon.

Cheers Matt

for the 640 Adv's my buddy and I have. Best of all, I just 'fessed up to my wife (i.e. didn't ask for permission) and she said I'm not even in trouble. Lucky I am.

are you tig or mig welding these. they look great so if i make one i'll just follow your lead. i get the tool box, but the water tank? is it plumbed into the rads.?
thanks. charles

[LukasM]

The water tanks don't have anything to do with the radiators or cooling system. They are simply deposits as a lot of international rallies require you to carry 3 liters of water on the bike for emergency use.

[KTMatt]

I havent made them with water tanks just the two tool boxes but a couple of guys have converted one of the boxes to a tank fo the Oz Safari.
For day today use the two tool boxes are a lot more pratical for stashing all to stuff you dont all ways need to get to in a hurry but are glad there there when you need them and it all adds to the protection of the bike.
I get them weldered up and the insides are mig the out sides are tiged as it look better.

Cheers Matt
