Man you've got eagle eyes nordie. Are they to stop it hitting,rubbing frame?

Anyone seen anyother more basicerer ones?

have seen some on KLR's on adv rider somewhere. They are just tubes that you take one end off, (sorta like a poster tube?) Mounted in the same place laterally across the frame. To be completely francis I reckon they are too vulnerable there.

If you wan't basicerer I could hook you up with a bit of 4 inch sewer pipe, cap on one end and screw on lid on t'other.
How you mount it(stick it on ya bike i mean) is up to you
Or you could use pressure pipe but that starts to get kinda pricey
Hang about, I think we have some old hunks of alloy irrigation pipe at work,Hmmmmm, know anyone who could weld that ?
Where's that video footage BTW

Vibration induced noise reduction.

Yah I've seen the tube type ones but maybe will look at a box type one. The tube type seem too vulnerable & since I need a new bahplate I might learn how to weld ali

video won't be soon unfortunately

Fabulous country; I could play guide for a lot of that, and happy to lead you all in to trouble for the rest!

A lot of that territory is regularly used for the Grand Challenge, which starts & ends at Turangi.

What date is it ? I had a scan through the thread and couldn't see any definitive date.
I could be a starter for this, but mrs Jatz won't be

I've just been looking at the NN motorcycle club's web site and noticed a "Heaphy Track trailride" on 1 April, anyone know what it's all about?

"Trials Tyres essential", sounds perfect for a few overweight adv bikes
