That looks like a nice piece of kit. Thanks for the reminder to fit protection items to new bikes early too ;)
Haha learning from experience 😬
Gees Curtis, I thought you actually broke the Strom! You’re absolutely right, the plastic guard won’t do shit if you’re doing what you’ve done👌 Ripped off pricing in Aus, but you need this for anything out there out bush. I reckon the SRC will spread the impacts rather than re-bend the cradle in the same area though the spacers if they are not a large diameter might still send the impacts where they are.
As you suggested, silicone the spacers on the cradle rather than the bash plate. Use a spare bolt to hole it when drying. If you silicone them to the bash plate, the holes may be bigger to allow movement. If they’re on the cradle, the threads don’t move unless the cradle is completely bent & buckled.
Keep it up👌
Cheers mate. Hoping it spreads the load too. Should do the job
SRC are a fantastic company with awesome service, quality and attention to detail. Money well spent. Speaking from experience.
Was very happy with my last bash plate from them
nice looking product....until first ride.....I coated mine with truck bed liner....stands up great.......now after all the work, go ride !
Might give it a freshen up down the track depending how it holds up. And yes, need to ride more!
Now you can slip in a frozen Four & Twenty Pie from Woolies and have lunch on the run.
Haha yep. Might try that...
It really looks good on the bike, Curtis.
I think so too Bill
I'm shocked, you bent it. 😁 A dab of silicon or "Shoe glue" will hod stuff in place for fitting
Great idea. It looks like when I do an oil change it will need to come off so I'll do that then
Glue those spacers onto the bash plate. Remember you need to remove that thing for every oil change…. I think…
Good idea. Might even silicone it on the next oil change. Yet to do a change so not 💯 on if the plate comes off, but wouldn't doubt it
Nice mate! I had that same problem with a much lighter GIVI plate on my 650, such a bastard haha Great looking bashplate! Love Aussie quality.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one!
@@onthebackwheel replaced with a super heavy duty B&B one afterwards. Heaps better! Install was a pain though haha
That looks like a neat item. A shame you managed to bend the cradle before fitting it, but your other videos showed how that happened! Not sure that SRC are Australian(?) as someone suggested below, but that has to be stronger than the plastic item. No reference to the aluminium thickness (4mm, 5mm?) nor the weight of the plate; info which might be worth adding after the next oil change. You might have to remove the cradle and straighten it better (which might need a fair bit of putting the cradle on and off to get right) as the long bolt may not be bottoming against the spacer and bracket, and may come loose like that.
I hope the bash-plate proves to be up to the tough use you put that poor bike through! 🙃
Haha me too mate. The plate is 4mm aluminium. They are a Thai company but have a supplier in Aus who's great to deal with. The long bolt fits great, the bolt continues all the way through so it pulls it nice and snug
Ready for war 🤠👍
Hell yeah 👊
Hey pal! Thanks for the vid! So good to discover your channel. Do you know how much does this skidplate weight??
Hi. No I didn't weigh this one. It's reasonably light for the thickness
One word "EXHAUST"
Yes yes, I want one too
Mate this is the reason iv only done 70kms on mine I'm waiting to get all this stuff in the new year I have also asked staintune to show me a higher tail pipe on Facebook they said they are dealing with suzuki Australia to come up with 2 types looking forward to see what they come up mate I'm unsure what tyers to run d606 605 or parili or golden tyers I'm leaning more to 606 as I live in Batemans bay nsw we have a lot of good riding country here
I'm waiting to see their pipe too, be good to throw an Aussie one on. Mate you won't fit a 606 or the likes,, the rim is too wide. You'll need to run something like I am or a Motoz
Looks perfekt
It does look nice
How’s the plate held up?
I just got the Transalp src plate and lower bars. The plate has some large openings in the bottom that make me wonder about protection for bigger hits.
Very happy with it. My KLR one took a beating and didn't hold up as well as say a B&B but I was happy with it too
@@onthebackwheel great
I guess when it gets out of shape I’ll make a new composite one
@@kairyurider that'd be cool. In saying that, I've put mine through the ringer and it's still good, will take a bit to kill it 😂
@@onthebackwheel great, never a bad thing to buy something that works😅
What about 605 or 603 dunlop will they fit man
Only the fronts, but they aren't really suited to the big bikes
