Manxsv, do you know what material they are made out of? And one healplate, you need to remove the whole rearset, correct?


Think it will be Aluminium, I removed mine to polish they are easy enough to take off and put back on

Naw... I wanted to do this on my own cause it was cheap. Not content on spending 60 bucks + shipping on those. Thanks anyways,

Mitch

Won't fit a K3 onwards, as the heelplates are integral with the footrest hanger.

Hey,

I have started sanding my healplates with a 600 grit wet/dry sand paper. It is taking awhile, is there any other methods I could use? I can always polish the plates with this paper after, but it seems as the finish (Paint?) isn't coming off very easy. Thanks,

Mitch

Try rubbing them with Sidi Black Rains. Works for me :(

:lol: :lol: :lol: I know exactly what you mean :roll:

They must be the most abrasive substance known to man :lol: :lol: :lol:

When I had my SV I got a sheet of stick-on carbon-look plastic and cut out the shape of the heelplates and stuck it on. It looked good and didn't scuff up at all and if it did start to look tatty you could just peel it off and stick some more on! Too much blue peter as a child I think :?

Never mind your SV... What about your Raptor :?:

It's got a puddle of oil under it at the moment :lol:

Intend to do this - just a case of getting round to it.
