Well good luck with adventurespec, i had mine break at the rear alloy mounts. I made a stainless mount and rivetted it onto the alloy its lasted much longer than the standard setup. I called in as its only 10 mins from my house and was basically told because it had been used offroad that i had broken it and there was nothing they could do. Why would you fit a bashplate if not for offroad use?? The guy could clearly see it wasnt a BMW GS
I asked them if they would sell me a replacement alloy plate, nope. Had to buy a full new guard. They wernt very helpful.
I also called in last week to buy a new klim lid. Basically told me they wernt a shop and i had to leave and had too buy online. I was stood in reception. Wouldnt even let me try one on for size. So i left money in pocket
I also hit a large rock a few months back that bent the steal tube into my clutch cover, smashing it. Im sure i would have done much more damage if it wasnt fitted bht i was still disapointed it didnt take the hit.
Ive also had to wedged a lump of neoprene between mine and my sump to stop it ringing like a bell on the motorway.
It came on the bike so ill live with it till it dies. Then ill make my own
