That whipps on yours looks quite good TB but any pics I have seen of whipps for Drz/Klx I havn’t been overly keen on.

The one in avatar is in an area where there are three climbs up the hill and it is the middle climb. Yep still up here and would be great to have someone to ride with I don’t know anyone here yet with bike so normally go down to Brisbane or take a chance on riding alone up here.

I have seen those pictures somewhere else, anyways, I like whipps products but having said that I was impressed with the job the plastic one on the project DRZ when Chopper tried to bulldoze a large rock, it protected the water pump real well.

Chris has a force on his bike but not through choice the shop just fitted it for him, it looks ok. The one bolt thing worries me as there is only one retainer to stop it swinging down which could cause a nasty little incident!

Just my thoughts

TB

Hehehe! Those pics have seen several showings at DBW, one at the biketerritory forum and now in TBAM! Tom was keen to put it in the mag, I just sent it to him for a laugh!

Hmmm food for thought. I’ve not seen a whipps fitted – might have to investigate. The Force does look to go about as high as your Whipps, as does the massey fergusson, oops, sorry, I mean B&B! (Rude bloke you are!) Actually from the pics on the website it looks like the B&B is a bit more sleek than the Force but pictures make it hard to show the 3D curves of these things. Might just have to do a bit of legwork.

Thanks all for your input!

My plastic one (KTM) has been fine and has taken the many rocks and tree logs I’ve tried to scale trials style. That said, I agree with TB regarding the fastening. It’s very quick to get on and off but isn’t the studiest and uses that stupid screwing bolt system.

The Whipps also look harcore, more hardcore than 90% of riders but is probably a good thing.

I will be on the case of the Force rad guards at some point soon too. Just need to work a few things out first

[ChrisMember]

Iv’e got a B&B Bashplate and Force rad guards and can not fault them ….They were in stock at the time i bought them thats how i picked mine

[Mick DMember]

Hey Moto do you zip tie your bash plate as well?

[Anonymous]

No, I had thought of it but haven’t had any issues with it too worry about it. I have seen a couple of other KTM riders do this though.

[Mick DMember]

The bloke that owns the KTM shop in Coffs recommended we did it with the 530.

[GregMember]

Why Mick, do they vibrate? And shake the bolts out?
