NEW *650/800 Twin products.

kildala2000 · 02-20-2009, 10:42 AM

Hello ADVriders,

I've been working on a few new items to fit these two models and will be doing a run of them soon.

A few lucky customers are testing the product as we speak.

1 Only) Reg gurad, Powder coated Black. Asking $40.00 + Postage

1) Rear rack ext, yes I've had this design for many years on all GS models w/o any issues. So why not use it for the twins?

Will post when I get items in stock. So please post comments on what you would like to see.
Thanks for the support,
Rick

Hello All, I recieved the fat foot and Rect. guard from Rick (kildala2000) and they fit very well.

The rect. guard fit perfectly and took about 2minutes to install. Replace the stock bolts with the supplied ones and that is it.

I ordered two fat foots. They were a little different.
#1- top and middle plates powder coated, the mounting screws were embedded into the bottom plate and the heads were shaved flush. Fit was easy.
#2- all parts powder coated, the mounting screws were not embedded, but once installed the heads of the screws are counter sunk and sit just above flush. The spacer/middle plate did not fit perfectly around the stock foot plate and therefore I ground down one corner about 1mm to allow for a proper fit. No big deal as I got to play with my power tools.

Overall very please with the products and have ordered a second rect guard. Also, anxiously awaiting the luggage plate/rack and headlight guards.

Truly a great guy to deal with, he shipped the parts out for me to try and see if I liked. and could return if so desired without any hassles or restocking fees.

Thanks Rick.

Hey Rick,
More accessory patterns are in the mail and heading your way.

The center stand skid plate fit just great.

PackMule · 03-04-2009, 07:23 PM

Got anything for the brake fluid reservoirs?

Bike4Fun · 03-05-2009, 10:52 PM

Any plans on doing a radiator guard for the F8GS? I like what you have, just need it in a different area!

Question? So that rad cover we got from you won't work on the 2013 BMW F800GS bikes? Bummer if not.

If you see typos it's my phones fault!

Hey,

Getting ready to purchase a pre-owned F800GS so I will soon be all over these items.

I installed the 650 single Rad.Guards before my trip to Alaska, it took about 15 minutes and fit was perfect!
They look great and have now proven there worth on 3300 kms of gravel on the Dalton ,Dempster, and Tow!!
Thanks for the great service.

I just received and installed this new guard on my wife's 650. It is without question a top quality piece of kit. Installs well and coverage is perfect, everything lines up 100%.
You won't find a better piece of kit for the $$ anywhere else and the service is 2nd to none!

Thanks Rick!!!

soph9 · 10-20-2011, 03:56 AM

Since we did not end up keeping the Triumph Tiger 800XC bikes after our Summer 2011 Adventure we went ahead and bought another rad cover for my bike. My partners is in the pics Rick uses. So, as always great piece of workmanship, looks the part and works in general! Thanks Rick! We are complete with your accessories. Now would love to see you add a brake reservoir protector.

WOLVERINE · 10-20-2011, 10:50 AM

No prob Rick....

So, you maybe doing a Brake Res Guard for the F series? Any chance you can incorporate a ridged mount/guard to stop the bobblehead thingy the Fseries has on the go now? If so, I'd buy that!

soph9 · 12-21-2011, 11:04 AM

Ditto

soph9 · 05-21-2011, 04:28 AM

Our rad cover for the twin looks great...same quality as Rick's other stuff and the install a little tricky because of the space you have to work in...tight but all in all if it keeps air coming in seems to be a nice practical addition....

Head2Wind · 02-17-2012, 09:40 PM

I have these on both my friends 650 twin and my wife's F650 Single. Top level stuff!
