I bought mine from someone on here so went back through my messages and found the pm's and it brought it back what a nightmare it was to fit. I got one of the guys at my work to enlarge the holes on it in the end in order for it to fit. I sent the guy i bought it off some pictures, just to show him as he was interested - said it was a perfect fit on his 1098. Have a look at these - Holes too small for the nut - https://postimg.org/image/x8j10ovnh/ Before the ignition hole was enlarged - https://postimg.org/image/xq3dtc163/ Damage - https://postimg.org/image/s3ppz97p9/ Finished - https://imgur.com/x0hhE6a
@Pavey thanks for that, thank you. Looks like I have some messing around to do! I'm sure it will work out in the end!
No worries. Yes, I have the fullsix guard on mine and yes, it fits 99%. It's a smidge high at the back lip (toward the fuel cap end), but other than that I have no complaints at all.
Update, a replacement arrived, along with the rubber edging I ordered. After some filing and sanding I have got it to fit a lot better around the ignition, not perfect but a lot better! The edging works an absolute treat, neatens the fit, covers any scratches and will prevent any more scratches happening. A deffo addition for any of you with carbon guards! I also managed to de-bond the key sensor off the dodgy one ok too. Phew, all sorted. Thanks folks, and most of all Moto Rapido for excellent service!
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111756249787 There you go mate! Perfect fit and wraps around the tight curves easily Oh sorry we didnt catch up at Bardney, I was late, my mate never turned up, I popped in, hung around your bikes for a while, couldnt see any obvious owner/rider so left! We need forum name badges
Cheers! Ah, we did wonder what had happened to you and kept an eye out for a couple of Duc's burbling in but only saw single bikes come in hence thought you'd not made it... Not to worry, was a good evening anyway Hopefully catch up soon though
Well it is quite simple really, I wanted to get rid of that god awful rubber thing, I dont go into any task thinking what grief it may cause, I assume for most this is a simple task, and finally I was not going to be beaten, and i'm happy with the result. A bit of messing around but hey, lifes not always simple.
