Here are mine, a doddle to fit and the quality is excellent!

They look good, I feel my wallet is getting lighter again!

Andy, I think you forgot to clean your footpegs.

(there's a spot or two on the exhaust cover too).

I know, it's a disgrace

Hi all,

Just got my frame protectors yesterday. Bloody hell they're good quality! As Cymarceng says 'he doesn't make cheap-shit stuff' and he's not joking. Should I be involved in some kind of air-to-bike missile attack, these'll still be entirely intact!

Thanks to Cymarceng for the speedy delivery, and for making all these lovely things for such ridiculously low prices!

Cheers,
Steve.

F*ck, that's funny mate.

never thought about the `air to bike missle attack` angle.

I can't beleive how clean your bike is  

Mine wasn't that clean when I bought it.

Mate, it`s a new bike mate - he`s not obsessive/compulsive - he`s only just got it.

Anyway, come and fix my intercom before I get too old to use it  :limp:

Careful, he'll be putting them up if you shout too loud. (only joking). I got some of these a few weeks ago and I agree, they are good tackle.

Went up to Scunthorpe last week to have my new frame protectors put on, and as usual, Mark was offering me a brew as I was dismounting my steed, which was most welcome.

He had his usual moan about being busy and not having enough time to develop more goodies for the Strom
I just humoured him until he'd fitted my new shiny parts

He does do a good job of the kit he makes, there's no doubt. But I was really happy that this time around he didn't get all gooey about them and whisper sweet nothings to them as he fitted them
I really think he's moved on

Nice bloke, nice frame protectors and nice free fitting service (I don't think he would have refused another bottle of red but I had to take advantage of the offer this time).

Thanks Mark!

Let me know when you've made something else and I'll be back for that too

[Fat Rat]

As long as you are taking the piss out of the suppliers, that's the main thing

There was something on another thread about a dolphin!  

Oh crap! Now I'll be charged double for mine!

Morning all, anyone know the torque setting for the M10 bolt that holds the left frame protector on?

[jaminben]

what's the rubber looking thing in the picture that appears to protect the frame (behind the steel)?

was this part an extra? or is it fitted to the newer 650s?

[Nick]

Those rubber things are frame protectors and  came as standard on my bike.

[raggydan]

I had them on mine but they don't work very well.

[Tall-n-thin]

They were (still are) on mine. They seem to be Suzuki's own frame protectors. Presumably designed/fitted by someone who was unaware of the meaning of the word 'protect'.  Cymarc's (a)look much better, and (b)work!

Cheers,
Steve.
P.S. Can someone make it stop raining now?

[Sven]

Don't think they were fitted to earlier models or 1000's.
Not exactly sure though.  Maybe someone else can confirm.
