Hi guys, I picked up my B&B bash plate from the post office earlier today and want to install it now ... but I just found out that there's no installation instruction in the package I google it and searched youtube for any video on how to do it, to no avail ... So, can anybody who has B&B bash plate on their TE 630 show me a picture or two on how it is mounted on the bike, please ....? Anybody has the installation instruction? Thank you very much in advance guys
Answering my own question I think I figure it out.. but not 100% sure. I took a picture of the bash plate ... with all the bolts and clamps or whatever the name is... in place ...does it go like this picture below? It's the picture of the BB bash plate seen from about 45 degree angle from the rear. A) above go to the engine mount at the front of the frame, using the original bolts or the brass bolts provided with the bash plate. Do I need to replace the original bolts and use the brass ones? Then B) go to the frame under the crankcase. Those two black stripes are rubber stripes, I guess those rubbers strips are the parts that actually touch the frames. Am I correct here? Need confirmation before I use loctite and mount it on the bike Thanks guys.
hey man just checked mine & thats how its mounted,also i used locktite & extra nuts on the top,pretty sure i used the original bolts & were long enough,i did have make space at the oil filter to remove the cover{basically ground a bit off,they might have fixed this problem by now} hope this helps
Thank you very much djc. I tried to install it last night but I had problem with the rear left hand side bolt (B) ... I couldn't make the bolt's head even or flat (flush?) with the bash plate surface, the head stuck out a bit. No problem with the RHS. So I removed the bash plate ... I guess I'm a bit OCD.. have to have a perfect fit and and maybe will try again tonight. The B bolts were really difficult to mount, it's really hard to reach them. Any tips on how to do it? Did you leave the bike on the side stand when installing the bash plate, or did you put the bike on a jack? thanks in advance
Don't have that skid plate so don't really know...but is it perhaps the case that the bolt is hitting the underside of the engine casing? May just need to cut that bolt shorter, or get a shorter bolt for that side.
I have the same bashplate on my 630 I ended up with a piece of 4mm alloy between the brackets A and the front of the plate on mine to get it to sit right. If I had my time again I would purchase the Force plate instead one bolt fitment. I also run longer bolts with nyloc nuts at point A for the front engine mounts.
Thank you very much guys I just finish installing it... this time it went on smoothly and easily. Here it is installed on my bike
