Why would you fit a bashplate if not for offroad use?? The guy could clearly see it wasnt a BMW GS

I asked them if they would sell me a replacement alloy plate, nope. Had to buy a full new guard. They wernt very helpful.
I also called in last week to buy a new klim lid. Basically told me they wernt a shop and i had to leave and had too buy online. I was stood in reception. Wouldnt even let me try one on for size. So i left money in pocket

I also hit a large rock a few months back that bent the steal tube into my clutch cover, smashing it. Im sure i would have done much more damage if it wasnt fitted bht i was still disapointed it didnt take the hit.

Ive also had to wedged a lump of neoprene between mine and my sump to stop it ringing like a bell on the motorway.

It came on the bike so ill live with it till it dies. Then ill make my own
John, I'm with you on this one. I was actually working for Dave from Adv Spec when my knees went! I do know him quite well and have bought literally thousands of pounds worth of goods from them in the past and I have taken mates to them to get gear. But not any more, they are too big for their boots now. I got a similar rebuff when I needed some more trousers. I wanted to try some out frst asI wanted Klim agin, but NO you cannot come here anymore. I went to the Adv bke warehouse at Manchester area and got really good service.
As for the bash plate I am fortunate to be able to weld and reapair myself.
Adv spec can take a running jump.
Steve

PS John I need someone to do a bit of offroad leading when I do the rally at Dent 29th July, your prescence would be appreciated. PM me pleeeeeeease
