A bit of updating on the Ten as the waterpump is very vulnerable in it's position especially in some of the terrain that I am finding myself in these days. The bike came with the genuine Plastic underbelly protection which is in actual fact very robust but not of any use in protecting the waterpump. The Metal Mule bash plate that I goty with the deal was butt ugly and of no use again in protecting the pump. I have been keeping an eye on this product which I have seen advertised from Adventure Spec. a newly established company which specialises in parts for advemture touring bikes, and it seems I know one of the blokes and they are some 20 mins ride from where I live. Yamaha UK have withdrawn their engine guard from the distributors but this product is not only an engine guard but a bash plate as well.
Fitted on Saturday and went through to Hull for an afternoons racing (yacht).
Tubing is 25mm MIG welded, bracketry is 4mm, all powder coated. Bash plate is 4mm TIG welded and anodised. Fastenings are Stainless and spacers are alloy anodised.
That should do the job nicely.
