I keep melting the heel of my boot on my link pipe 'cause its high level and with the peg raisers it just rests on the pipe

I emailed the guy and asked him for the measurements, it's approx 180mm long and 48mm at its widest point...perfect fit

Haven't brought it yet, gonna have a go at making my own

You'll have to weld on a couple of lugs, a good easy one is to use a nut for it.

I asked the guy for a side photo, 2 button head bolts and nuts hold on U shape brackets with are held on with jubilee clips

Made a template with photoshop, got some stainless steel from a old fridge at work and off we go

I'd have brought it if it didn't look so thin and flimsy

it only needs to maintain an air gap, so doesn't have to be that heavy duty.

Suppose brackets and clips would work, but I used lugs as you see nothing beyond the plate itself.

Cheers Mark.
