Hope your joy is not as short lived as mine in relation to the belly pan.  Was passing Dealer yesterday when I thought , what the hell, I'll go and pick it up and fit it myself. Well once I got it out the box I thought that it didn't look much like in the brochure. It's nothing more than a U-shaped cowl that kinda wraps itself around front of engine. DP brochure illustration clearly shows a definite 'pan' extending below engine/sump which in itself would offer some protection to the underside from all crud etc thrown up by front wheel. Fact is the 'cowl' as purchased is just that and at best is a cosmetic add-on offering little or no added engine protection. On top of all that the price had gone up by over £30 in the 11 months I've been waiting! Not happy and taking it up with DUK. I'll keep you posted. Having said all that I'll probably keep it as it is a cosmetic improvement, but can anyone give me any tips on how to undo the securing bolts on exhaust guard? There is a lug on cowl which doubles up on front fixing of guard but I couldn't for the life of me get the bolt to budge despite copious amounts of WD 40. I can only assume that with proximity to exhaust it's damn near welded itself on. Not happy bunny any more!  [Edited on 16-3-2004 by luckywhiteheather] | |
