Many thanks Steve! biggrin

I've been searching for these, literally for years, for my TT250R (Austrailian model).

They are not as bulky as other types.

Nearly kept them for myself, but looks like I may be selling my bike anyway

B&B Off-road Frame Guards are still available from Aussie.
I’ve got those on my TTR and they are spot on.

Steve, selling your TTR ?!
... to get another one ?

Cheers

Having a few health problems and may have to give up the off roading. Spending all my working life on my knees (plumber) has paid a heavy price on my body

Hi Steve,
Oh, very sorry to hear that.
The Retirement Age in NZ is 65 and there are no plans to move that upwards because most Tradies (Builders, Plumbers, Electricians, etc) are worn out at that age.
The TTR is still a cool bike to ride on the road.
Good luck Mate
Cheers
Jeff and Penny

Also sorry to hear that Steve.

My knees aren’t good - bone on bone in my right knee with Osteoarthritis. I also suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis too affecting many bones and take more prescription drugs than you can shake a stick at, including 6 monthly 12 hour infusions

Just got my first TTR and hope to ride it mainly on unclassified (UK) roads.

Hope things improve - best of luck
