water pump protection and other protection stuff

[motardina]

so what has anyone done to protect that waterpump hanging out there? do the guards that MZ makes do anything to protect it? the skidplate that touratec makes? anything available that woks or are we in fabrication-land on this one?

I was at a friends shop and he had a waterpump cover for a Yamaha Raptor on his shelf. I purchased it and modified it and put it on my Mastiff. I forgot the companies name that made it but it is sold by Alba racing.

yes, that loox like the water pump cover that's a Yamaha factory accessory for the raptor-- think it is the same thing?
when i saw this on the yamaha atv website, I was wondering how it would adapt to the baghira. thanks for sharing! i think i'll score one of these--piece-of-mind ya know!

goldie, thanks for that link--they have some cool stuff on that site, i loved the pix of the baggys doing everything from enduro to "adventure" riding. The skid plate also loox like just what i was thinking of. thanks. you evfer deal with that company before>?

The only problem with the Yamaha one is that it is solid in the area you need to cut. So cutting it might be a bit harder.

@motardina: I know the owner of the company very well
All of the mods I've done to my Panther were made there. The owner speaks english and already has sent some stuff overseas.
