Suzuki bash plates - KB member deal

[gpcustom]

I want to sell some of my bash plates. Can do them for the drz 400 easy as. Can allso do them for the dr650 but with out the bike i cant drill and tap the mounting bracket. You can do this you self i suply all bolts and 3mm stainless mounting bracket you just need to bolt braket on and mark the holes (easy) Made from 4mm alloy plate with oil drain hole so you wont have to remove once fitted.

Dr650 normal price $180 will do for $140

Drz400 normal price $160 will do for $135

if a kb member in dunedin wants one for a dr650 i can do the holes for the bracket and they can have the plate for bugger all

I would be interested unquestionably. Prob make sense to install before the Back of Beyond too. PM the details for a fit up.

[gpcustom]

and will get a pic up when i get home from work

[chrisktm]

Keen as for a 650 one please

[gpcustom]

keep in mind this is my template not the finished bash plate

[gpcustom]

the bracket bolts to your engine mount and then the bash plate bolts to that. The rear of the plate bolts up under the motor. There is two factory mounts allready there

[Monstaman]

Any pics with one mounted on a DR650? ,I am keen as well, coming to Dunedin for Biketober so could pick up then.

[gpcustom]

im going to fit one to cold comforts bike and get some pics. Allso trying to get hold of a guy i sold one to for pics. :wait:

[gpcustom]

this is not the finished bash plate.
The finished plate has nicer welding/cleaned up edges/ and has a badge on it :niceone:

[junkmanjoe]

hi thats a good idea how you made the bottom front mount.

Looks like 4mm from the photo.

[gpcustom]

and it took me a while to figure out the mounting braket off the motor mount. it seems to work well

[Monstaman]

Count me in for one please gpcustom, we are coming down to Bikeotober so will pick up then if that is cool, happy to pay you up front.

With those turn ups at the front that is a great pie warmer gents :2thumbsup

[Waihou Thumper]

A chain guard for a KTM if you had the measurements or a template? The Plastic one is good but it wears over time and I am sure a alloy one would look good...

I am gonna miss that bugga it, we are over in China unfortunately.

You goin to Biketober in the Oct, we will be there on the Tardis, gonna pick up the bashplate from GP then too.

[gpcustom]

is it a ride?? where it at:scratch:

[Monstaman]

17th October, Octagon in Dunners.

Tony Arnerich also has one of your plates on his DR400 and raves about it, when I told him I was getting one of your ones he said great move, so any punters on here that are indecisive take the leap and you won't be disappointed.

[drz hoffy]

hey there and chance you do case savers for a drz400 2006 if not do you know where to get them in NZ cheers hoffy

[gpcustom]

that name rings a bell is he up your way. Hi drz hoffy i have thought of doing case savers befor but i think it would be to hard to make the dished edge i dont realy have the gear to do it. i may look into it at some stage i need to have a good look at a bike to see if i can come up with some sort of idea

[gpcustom]

ive been trying to make a jig to sort the holes for the front mount bracket its a real pain in the arse to get it right. But will save me a lot of hassel once its right at the moment i have to fit every bash plate to a bike to get the holes in the right spot. The dr650 bash plate takes me about 3 hours each where the drz 400 is only 1 hour start to finish:crybaby:

[drz hoffy]

thanks for the reply i actually brought one of your bash plates from trade me and i must say they are awesome so strong and easy to fit, i have been showing everyone up here and they all think its awesome, umm the case savers look like this if it helps

[gpcustom]

bash plates its crazy. Yea i can tell by looking at the case savers there would be a lot of work and would be easy to buy them if you can. Its would be just to hard for me to form them up.

[Monstaman]

that name rings a bell is he up your way.

He is ex dunners, lives here in Wonka and is in our Wanaka Motorcycle Club, I am club president here with 55 members.
