Moderator Goff Posted February 2, 2009 Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2009 PS - is there the clearance for saddle bags?.... This is yours goff.. right?.... Yep those are the ones. The only thing i will say is that you need to fuck about slightly to get them to fit and add some of your own spacers but its a piece of cake to do. And they look and sound the dogs bollox as you can see. I got a vid on youtube if you wanna her them HERE I use textile throwovers when im rallying - i dont have saddlebags but yeah theres loads of room. Never rejetted or anything, just shoved em on and away i went - and no probs whatsoever The heat shield that comes with them is shite so i suggest you get one made. I just paid 50 quid for a custom one but wirht it cos ive gone thrugh 3 pairs of waterproofs and they get REALLY hot. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIDN'T have much trouble at all but i did take brake pedal (all bracket ) & rectifier off first----also made a small plate/brackt to pick up on front hole so both hole on original mount were in use not just rear. p.s what sort heat shield did you get as like u said original sh*t-- textile trousers melted & nasty marks on leathers- but a small prce to pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the heat shield was missing from them and he kept promising to send it but never did - until i started a paypal dispute then he sent it and its shite!! Also the baffles didnt fit without getting stuck so i had to spend ages grinding them to fit - but i dont have them in anyway - much better without! I had my mate make a permanent one for me this is it - and its brilliant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
