No Stu... I'm over rising to your comments...

You are trying to turn a light hearted thread into a 'them' and 'us' attack on me as a mod and I can't see the point... are you bored?

Anyone can say whatever they want to me, and I will say what I feel back ... mod or not... if I thought it was an issue I would resign now.

Hey Ed, i'm all for making mods, its what we did bitd so why shouldnt we now. I have had a fair bit of stick on here for a few mod ideas i have voiced but i still did them ( and they worked  ;) )

Getting your thread back on track, i think it would be worth getting a bashguard fabricated based on the one you have but with a rear end more suited to the frame. Whatever bracket you come up with is going to look untidy as the chainstay brace isn't square with the chainstays. I recon getting a custom bashguard fabricated wouldn't be that expensive and you could even adapt the mounting brackets to some form of neat clamp to save drilling the frame if that bothers you at all.

If it were me i would have the guard cradle the bb and have one clamp round the down tube and a pair of clamps round the chainstays  :daumenhoch:
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

The bashy "plate" just needs a bit of fab work and re-powder to fit  :coolsmiley:
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

Ed, just take an angle grinder and sledge hammer to all the parts and make them fit together nicely  :daumenhoch:

Ed, Is the hole in the bash guard threaded? The one under the chain stays. I'm guessing not.
I can think of a couple of options. One is to use an expanding type bolt that will fit in the hole. Metal plate on top of the chain stay with bolt passing through. Clamps chain stays.
Or if the current plate on the bash guard with the hole in is not wide enough. You could just carefully grind that plate off make a new one that is wider and sits on the chain stays. But get a nut welded onto the new plate before it gets welded back to the bash guard with the nut inside the bash guard and have a plate and bolt from on top of the chain stay.
Or if the current bash guard plate is wide enough get a nut welded over the hole and same set up as above.
I really hope that makes some kind of sense to you.
Hope it's elegant enough for you.

Its threaded, and with a US thread as well which makes finding a bolt fun...  :D

personally i think your mad :LolLolLolLol:

hopefully you can do it so you dont have to drill/modify the frame and bashguard as they are quite rare and you know as soon as you have finished it a riot will come up for sale :2funny: :2funny:

at the end of the day it will never be a riot but its your choice


im just off to chop a inch out of my mk3 s&m holmes toptube and weld a platform on it, then ive got a rare s&m platform dirtbike :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:
