Default Pyramid Plastics

hello guys and gals - writing from the states - I was looking for any comments on Pyramid Plastics - specifically belly pans - I have an 02 naked model and was curious as to quality and ease of fitment for their kits?? Thanks in advance!

Best Regards

I love the Pyramids bellypan for the carbed model, it just looks right... The fit is absolutely spot on too, they're a bit of a fiddle to fit but then so are most bellypans. Very solid too.

They hang a little low as standard, I managed to ground mine out on the left hand side a couple of times but you do have to be trying quite hard to do that. Also, because the exhaust header is quite tight through the cutout in the front, aftermarket exhausts can be a problem- as I found out. Lots of fillering and cutting required to make it fit with my system. Well worth it though.

northwind - what type exhaust do you have? I've got a full Micron - hopefully I won't have any problems though??

Mine is a WRP, it runs the front header down the side of the oil filter for some unknown reason... Looks good though Not sure about Micron. Does it go more or less where the stock one does- ie down the front of the filter?

Yes.....The Micron header runs the same pattern as the stock system. Straight out the front of the oil filter.

Yes - it really serves no function except for looks and perhaps protecting the bottom pattern of the header.
