Ive got size 11 feet and ride with the balls of my feet on the pegs and my left heel keeps scuffing the swingarm and was wondering if there are covers available for it.

My boot thats scuffing.
 
You could always try the foor rests longer than normal that were put on the earlier bikes.

Have a look in my garage.

ps i think your chain needs lubing lol
 
Yes search AF1 you can get them and they are Aprilia parts !
 
Wouldn't worry too much about the rubbing mate, be more concerned that the chain is gonna let go with all that rust. LOL

I have small feet and found that my heels scratched the left side of the swing arm, so I fitted this:

Thanks.
I got somthing thats supposed to be the same as whats in your picture from Rawtech http://www.raw-carbon.co.uk/a019.htm. Will wait and see.

My chain is well oiled in the middle (my scottoiler takes care of that) it just doesnt oil the very outside of the chain links.

That cover I have fitted came from Russ at RawTech.

Excellent quality gear. LOL (Kawasakinnit will get the arse if he reads this)

I think Russ at RawTech might view this forum.
It could just be me being paranoid :coocoo

Oh, Youve all shamed me into putting some oil on the outside of my chain :pirate
 
I can't complain all my carbon bits from Russ have been good quality. :thumbup

Shame it all went so wrong recently.

Glad you oiled that chain mate, I'll sleep soundly tonight. :devious

Mmmmm you know my views , i got money back and made my point nuff said.
 
I noticed scuffing on my right hand side of the swinging arm whilst cleaning mine that i didn't remember seeing when i bought her, now i know where they have come from, i will have to get some covers as well.

This bike is eating all my spare cash, but i don't care as the buzz it gives is the ultimate......

So shiny you can see the muppet taking the photos. :devious
The only things now on the bike that arent scuffed or dinged, but after a while im sure ill sort some out :pirate
The stainless screws were the only ones i could get so im going to paint the heads black.

Well ive already worn through the chain side swingarm protector :angry
So they dont look like the solution to my problem. :rant

I wasnt out on the bike and was at a loose end this weekend and was pondering making some extended heel plates as a more long term and better solution to prevent damage to my swingarm.


So heres what i came up with.........

Now is there someone who can do something similar to these but more proffesional and better looking :dunno
 
Nice job ranger - if you extended those a couple of inches you could hang a set of Givi boxes on them:nana
