Africa Twin Frame Filler
Not sure what to really call this and it's not really a bodge either - but I like it and thought it would fit best in here...........

The Africa Twin has a huge hole at the top of the rear engine frame which is a strengthening tube running through the frame to either side. This is completely open and is just begging for a cap of some sort.

Suprisingly enough - the swingarm pivit cover from a Yamaha XT600 fits this hole absolutely perfectly with no fixings or glueing needed at all.

The Yamaha part is a rubber bung that is an interference fit and just looks like it's a factory part.



Originally, Yamaha supplied them grey, which would have been nice, but thay only do black ones now.

Anyway - not much of a bodge - but I've had mine in for a couple of years now - I just pop them out once a year for a quick spray n the hole with ACF50.

Even by XRV standards that went so quickly and so far off topic, that I've copied the thread into the chatter section.

If you want to contribute to this thread - please do stay on topic

Wah?

Over 8 notes for 2 rubber bungs? This isnt a LandRover we're on about here!

Does anyone else think thats a bit steep?
