Victim of vibration

Sounds like a good a good idea, thicker stainless sounds appealing, although maybe it'll be more prone to cracking ?

My original one cracked twice before I re-inforced it with a thicker piece of plate . This is a work in progress on a stainless one made out of 2mm thick sheet, It might look simple but I have spent many garage hours knocking seven bells out of this to get it in shape.
Once it's finished I will see how long it lasts compared to the original one. Speaking of the dreaded vibes last week I just happened to look underneath the engine and saw the side stand cut out switch swinging in the breeze, the retaining bolt had worked loose and it was just waiting for me to get fully togged up , retract the side stand , pull in the clutch and prod the starter button and................. ..............bugger all happening as I sweated and cursed and got detogged again.:mad:

Just had same problem few days ago here in Aus. I've emailed Norton... will let you know of any response. Perhaps someone out there could produce a better product for us...?

Well done mate, i can see that took a lot of effort... Hope it's tougher than the original.. It'll be nice to see it on the bike.

I emailed them 3 weeks ago, no response at all. :(
 
Can't see the photo, but I guess it's your guard mounted to your bike.. Good luck, let's hope it's stands up... Keep us posted ..
