After ripping of my bash plate at the bosvark bash, I had it refitted, but all the new rubbers cost me around R520, excluding my own time for fitting them.

Then this weekend I ran into a bashplate, locally manufactured, and at that price, I just had to get me one.  :deal:

It wraps around my header pipes more than the touratech IMHO, and it also covers the Cat Pipe.  :thumleft: and it covers the sides of the pipes well, including all sensors.

Also comes with an easy to install bracket to carry the load @ the back of the plate.


Photo 1: The new plate.
Photo 2:  First mod I am planning before fitting, is to countersink the bottom holes, and replace with new countersunk screw heads.
Photo 3: Aluminium seems 5/6mm thick and sturdy as hell.  Very well built.  :mwink:
Photo 4:  Me with my torn of bashplate at Bosvark Bash, before replacing all the rubbers etc.  Much smaller.
Photo 5:  Shamelesly stolen of the net, Here is how the new plate will wrap around the header pipes.  Groovy baby yeah!
