CF frame prot. Pyramid Pl. don't fit!!

Post by Mavve750 »

Just bought new carbon fibre frame protectors from Pyramid Plastic.

The fitting is supposed to be so lousy that they don't fit.
Since I can't walk right now from an accident I gave them to the workshop where the bike is right now and they couldn't fit them.

I find it strange since this is an old bike and they should know if it's something wrong with the product by now.

I decided that they have to fit and therefore me and my friend made them to fit. I really liked the finish of them so I didn't want to return them.

We made it:

We had to cut off the mounting hole from the right one and glued it on. It's aligned with the right frame holder so it's on the right place.

The left one was a little bit worse bc of the mounting of the steering damper. The cover wasn't that well done over that part and it was too narrow over the frame.
So we cut the entire upper part off and made the hole bigger for both the steering damper and the lower hole.
It fitted well in all holes so we didn't glue it on. :)

It's so lovely.
Just ordered all new screws and rubber for the entire fairings making it look like new. Also new seat and carbon hugger. Thinking of new original turn signals since they look worn a little bit but they're so expensive.
