Rear shock protector

Post by KermitLeFrog »

Mine seems to be missing. Any ideas where I can get one from? Can't see any reference to it in the manual....

It's only a flap that bolts on to the subframe (£10-15) - alternative is to fit a combined hugger/chain guard.

copy & paste the part no.s in David Silvers find by part no.

Or see if it comes up on ebay from a breakers in the box of left over bits they auction off.

Super, thanks. Looks like it's going to be easier/quicker to make my own.

Piece of cheap shite plastic with a thin strip of poor steel & bolts that rust really easily...

I'll have to check but I may have one you can have... :lol:

I'll have a rake tomorrow. If I do have one I'll PM you an e-mail addy so you can mail me your addy...

An R+G shock sock for an SP1 fits ok, and hides the rusty spring!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
