Title: Phills Farkles Plate
Post by: Biker Bugs on May 29, 2017, 06:34:06 PM
Anyone fitted one and found the Kwack top box rattles a lot more?

Mine does  :cry:

So annoying I'm thinking of putting the stock one back on  :undecided:

Same here stuck to bottom of the box so it's not unsightly on the plate when box not used  :yes:

Ditto. Cut up a piece of old wetsuit and stuck it onto the bottom of the box. Job done 👍

If you have recently purchased curtain rails, from Dunelm Mill or know anyone who has, you can use the packing HD foam that they contain, and stick it with good double sided self adhesive tape

just sayin  :popcorn:

Here is a link below to show the item.
Just remember closed cell in the reviews means waterproof I was lucky where I previously worked used it in the products so off cuts lay everywhere easy to recycle  :whistling:

The GTR1400-specific plate:

fits perfectly on my '09 bike, so I assume will fit all GTR1400s regardless of year...

No top box rattles and 1/2 the price of Phil's Farkle plate. Just saying :whistling:

Cheers
