Yeah Roy,
All those issues are understood for sure, and actaully some were the reason I hadn`t bought one or made it earlier :whistle:
B&B now have a 20mm tube welded around the entire edge of their rack to provide a nice round edge as well stiffening the plate.Slots , yep they are for straps and they aer cheap enough to replace if they wear on a long trip (I carry spares anyway)
I will be only normally be carying my tent and camp chair etc on mine, I just needed quicker access to the filler cap.
Nothing will really be hanging over the sides of the plate to rub, nor will it be on the front part where the bolt heads are
I do have countersunk screws but chose not to use them at this stage 
I am tossing up whether to cut some more slots or holes in the lage portion of the plate or drill some large holes etc, but will wait till I decide on a Rotopax fuel cell or not
Cheers
Happy Birthday Action
We haven`t met yet, but all the best just the same ,,,,Enjoy the new purchase too, it looks like a sweet ride :woohoo:
:laugh:
You can Bite Me
The Wauchope/Nundle ride was longer than 10 mins, you ran it actually :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:
The ride like a girl bit ,,,,, well,,,, so what , I enjoy taking in the scenery :whistle:Not a copy as far as I know, B&B did a custom for MickP but the other B&B rack is totally different and costs close to $200, but then again there are some other brands out there ……
I will soldier on regardless and test it out at my pace :woohoo:
:laugh:
That`s the beauty of the Barrett s opposed to the standard 690 pipe :whistle:
The Barrett stays relativelt cool, so much that you can put your hand on it soon after shutting down the donk,,, The standard pipe will melt anything within a metre :laugh: No shit, they call them “THERMONUCLEAR DEVICE ” :SI have a small heat sheild over the top of the pipe anyway Boll (had it there previously to protect luggage straps & the like)
Does that explain it ??? You Cheeky Bugger
Now piss off & build your CRF ADVer :laugh:Pics here finally :laugh:
There are some fine tuning things I may do as well (after my first test ride)
I forgot to mention that I think MickP had some presence in spurring Deano on to make one , especially in regards to the brace down to the pannier frame
Cheers Boys, Nice job I reckon
Chicken wrote:Hey Bollocks, the wind factor is the biggest thing for me, when we did the Lightning Ridge ride my neck was so sore from the wind buffeting. maybe because I’m tall or I was using an open mx helmut or factor of both, either way I would put a screen on, your arse will be oK 😆Totally agree on the wind factor on the neck (especially wearing dirt halmet with no visor)
The TALL statement,,,,, Yeah, No Shit :laugh: You are the tsllest dude I ever saw on a bike for sure :whistle:I have a screen coming now for the 690 and talking to Deano, he rates his screen too and says it makes a world of difference comfort wise on a long day

Interesting choice for long rides though,,, CRF450 :whistle:
You will be tired after a long day :unsure: More ready for a cold beer or twenty I suppose :woohoo:The Cush Hub is a must, will make a big difference and give you more life from chain & sprockets too
Good LuckSince weight seems to be a big issue about the place if he has a padded arse why we he be more tired than riding a ktm 690 ??? :huh:
I never said he would be more tired than on a 690 Bob :whistle:
I meant more tired than on his 250 and the 650 BeemerI have only ridden a CRF450 once, but from all that I hear, they are a harsh and aggressive ride. Even more so than the 690 I reckon actually :laugh:
Cheers

Needless to say we have never had an issue with overheating.Obviously they aren`t worried about the copious amounts of mud, crud & rocks that would work their way in there too and contribute to more possible damage :whistle: :pinch:
Great mod I reckon ,,, and Yeah, Nice Weld
