That sounds stupidly expensive 8O
No m8 the bellypans are over two hundred quid , my camera is f$%ked at the mo but im buying the missus one for crimbo and will be happy to take loads of piccys of my brackets and try and get the dimensions right for you , theres realy not a lot to them just two long thin plates with some smaller brackets of to mounting points.

Thanks for that Dookie,sure, if you want to practice taking pics of the brackets it would help tremendously as i haven't a clue what they look like or where they fit onto.

I have since e-mailed Pyramid back expressing my thoughts on the ridiculously high priced brackets and how dis-proportionate they are compared to a bellypan but i don't suppose they will send me a christmas card and the brackets!!!!

Thanks for your help.

This might help or at least give you an idea :!: The pic's also shows how the brackets attach to the bike. A guy (in the states I think can't remember now) who also had PP belly-pan didn't like the standard fittings so he made these himself

I don't know if originally there would have been four, but this guy who made these (as I said) didn't like the original so that's why he made these :!: I know some dimension would have been a huge help (if only I had them) but at least you now have some idea of what you will need, I hope :lol:
