I still have a few radiator guards in stainless steel in stock, if anyone is interested.

Ah, i see you are looking for GS rad guards.. nevermind

I had an MSR for a few years (7 years ago)

The linkpipe was good quality, i know for a fact that MSR bought their linkpipes at GPR.

The small round exhaust quickly loses its damping material and starts to sound louder and louder.

I ordered an MSR system for a client 1 year ago, but they changed the linkpipe. Its much lower quality unfortunatly.

So i would not advice it.

GPR is good btw.

Ah sorry Joci, I knew this, i didnt know you had that type. That sturzbugel was made by BMW, but somehow they managed to produce it without checking if their own plastic skidplate fits. So even the original plastic skidplate has to be butchered to work with those crashbars.

If anyone else had this issue, ill give you a refund.

All other types of crashbar (Heed, Evilchop, Hepco&Becker) all do fit well with my skidplate.

Good morning,

A technical drawing of the Skid Plate from Touratech is also circulating on the internet. After that I built my own motor protection and it worked really well.

Of course, I can't find it again on the web quickly, but if you're interested I could send you the PDF by email.

Best regards

Thomas

That is probably the technical drawing i made and distributed back in 2017. I took all measurements of the touratech skidplate.

But I deleted it, because that design always cracks on the mounting points after a few thousand km.

My current skidplate is version 5, much improved.

You could take the measurements of the mounting holes and design your own plate.

Yes ofcourse, ive added you to the list.

I recently "tested" my skid plate on a big root and it worked greate

Also my own addition the plastic ramp to protect the Stahlbus oil drainage valve worked as intended

Good to hear! Thanks for the feedback.

I also have a drain valve, but it doesnt stick out beneath the skidplate.

hi ard,

just a question:

do you think, it's possible to adapt the skidplate to the newer f650 dakar models?

i think it should work with drilling some holes to fix the plate to the chassis, main for the down-side, front should work, i think

best from vienna,

ralph

Hi Ralph,

Hi Ard,

I proudly own an almost 30 years old Funduro for three months and I'm still thrilled. I don't know, if you are still in the skidplate/ radiator cover business, but if, I would be delighted to purchase them.

Best regards

Britta

Hi Britta,

Good to hear. After 8 years, im also still enjoying my 650 85000km extra in my possession.

Yes these are still available. I do have to make a new batch of radiator guards. And the skidplates are only available in powdercoated red at the moment (same as the funduro 'flame red').

They are selling out quickly in the spring/summer.

Unless you have a red funduro, I would not advice the red skidplate.

Ill have these rad guards and new skidplates ready somewhere in august.

Regards,

Ard Hospers

And I added a showa b019 (f650gs shock), for extra travel. Also a hyperpro spring.

And to compensate; extensions for the frontforktubes and 6mm preload disks.

Zitat von famster

Hello, can you offer the Radiator guard without the f650 logo?

Hi, if you can find 10 or more people with the same request. These productions are only profitable if I can make them in series.

Hi All,

My german is nicht so gut, so this post will be in English.

I have made new batches of the parts I've been selling for the F650's. I've been testing these parts for ~70.000 km on my F650 and my gf's F650.

All items come with a manual. Jetkit manual can also be used for general F650 tuning tips & tricks.

Skidplate: About 200 pcs sold worldwide. It is 4mm thick 5754 aluminium, and comes with a set of stainless bolts and washers. Weighs about 1000gr.

€92,-

Radiator guard: About 40 pcs sold worldwide. 1,5mm stainless 304.

€82,-

Jetkit: My most expensive project (about 30 dyno runs to gather data, and a custom exhaustheader set with Innovate LM2 gas analyzer/logger). Only useful for F650's with an aftermarket exhaust.

With this data I can select the jets your carburators need, based on a few parameters. (Average climate, Average altitude, Exhaust model, Production year, E10 or E5)

Kit includes mainjets, idle jets, mixture screw o-rings, an pre-oiled airfilter, settings for the needle, settings for the mixture screw.

*Data based on carburators in perfect condition!

€50,-

I also have some random items new/used, like the exhaustheader-gaskets, airfilter-rubber, CDI's. Etc.

Shipping to Germany is somewhere between 13,- and 19,50.

You can contact me via PM.

Mit freundlichen grüßen,

Ard

Hi,

rpr61 my German is nicht so gut, aber mein Englische sprache is much besser

See the manual for more info.

Shipping to anywhere in Germany is 13,-

I also have skidplate's/tuningkits if you're interested.

Hi Rolf,

Ive thought about that before, but i figured most people would be able to make something like that easily.

So the price per piece should be low (~20-40 euro max). And that makes the profit margin too small, when i take into account the time necessary for shipping/contact.

(a website would be much better, but i prefer to keep the side-business small)

Looks good! Good find on the acerbis tank, those things are rare!
