I found the most expensive non genuine part upgrade

I couldn't find a suitable solid mounting on the XTZ for this small non genuine part.

After finding the part(it doesn't exist on microfiche or in workshop manuals)and after searching I found a suitable well balanced solid mounting and support brackets to enable this part to handle the extreme leverage and extensive usage not only for what it was designed for but in one that such a part would endure......

One might say a mounting system such as this is too expensive in proportion to the size/cost of the actual part but I disagree...I thought it was a snip at over €500 compared to the proportion of benefit one gets from having such a part fitted.

After extensive testing I can quite categorically state that the part does in fact hold up to 100% of all the promises that the manufacturer states without fault of any kind.


A bonus to this mounting system is that I'm sure if I thought long and hard enough I could maybe use the mounting system for something else?...Any ideas?

Genius, and lets face it we have all seen fuel and water bottles on the back of boxes, I reckon a couple of optics would be better.

Now if only Gas Gas would supply a corkscrew I might be tempted to buy another one...I wonder does Norman Watt have one of those in his microfiche? lol

Unless you want to carry some Wine too ?
