Few after market manufacturers will go through the thought process of using a countersunk bolt and building up the material to effectively countersink an Allen head bolt. Looks clean and and no hang ups. At the end of the day, you are still taking off only four fixings for service as you would with the factory item. Short but sweet Josh, looks the business and will certainly protect ya business
Yeah man they really come out with some well designed gear. The bashy on my 500 is B&B as well, real simple unit but tough and easy as pie to fit and remove. What more do you need. Thanks for the comment Clint 🤟
B&B are amazing, The supplied bolts for the 19 CRF450R radiator braces had hex bolt heads and would dig into your knees. Called the owner of B&B and we did RnD together and refined the bolts to a mushrooom head. No more cut up inside of knees. I believe they are the only aussie mob who can provide 5mm, 318 stainless braces and plates. Remember to blue loctite your bashplate bolts ^^
Thanks for the vid. It was a great help Mine arrived today along with the tail tidy, and I installed the bash plate this arvo. I went for the black. Hope to install the tail tidy Thursday. Plenty of time in Vic at the moment!
@@blade1535 The powder coating is impressive. There are some areas that have taken some hard knocks and it has scratched. The polished aluminium is a great look. Hard choice really.
Solid kit from B&B. Them & my local guy at Camel ADV are the only ones providing plates with linkage protection for the T7. My pivotpegz from down under have arrived on Canada's west coast for fitting. Barkbusters on the way! Ride on!
@@MVDBR Thanks for your reply Im looking forward to fitting up some accessories and getting out myself hopefully catch up with you guys for a ride. keep up the quality videos there solid.
@@danpyskir9109 Cheers mate I posted up a little vid of the rack on our other channel anyway if ya want to check that out th-cam.com/video/AyqR8wWoKag/w-d-xo.html
Hey Josh. What did you use to paint the brackets? I want to do the same but I’m assuming the brackets are zinc plated. Not sure what sort of paint will stick to it.
4m 51s, That nut isnt a nylon lock nut. it requires 'serviceable thread lock', aka "blue loctite". Rule number one in the workshop. Thread lock EVERYTHING that isnt already a lock nut (castle nut, nylon nut, spring washer loaded nut, flanged nut, tabbed lock nut etc etc) The only exception is internal parts, some things cant be thread locked else they cant be torqued accuratley. my rule; if it aint an oily thread; chemical lock it.
Yeah I'm whipping it off shortly before it goes in for a service anyway. You're right it would be a good idea to loctite them although I never have with the 500s bashy and not had a problem, but it's a bit of a different setup
I had to giggle because you had your loctite sitting there under your bike but forgot to use it. Ive lost too many bolts over the years, even when they were FT... Loctite costs $5.00... Replacement shiny bolts cost a bit more... Just use the 'medium' strength, serviceable stuff...
i want to add you didn't have the centerstand when you did this. a bit of advice for one that HAS the centerstand. only install one of the frame bolts one at a time. this does two things . it assures you your not crossthreading and it makes it a "TON" easier to line up the oem centerstand bolts on the left side which thread through EVERYTHING except the spacers for the centerstand!!!
It's a sport engine tucked inside an offroad frame. Katy Ems have been at the forefront. All the other guy see the potential especially now the emissions bell tolls. If kawai ever remakes the klr I'm sure it will go this direction as well. In canada this T7 would be pushin $15k with registration, taxes, financing.
No mate your right. I just love you guys alot. I dont wanna sound negative at all. Prolly should not have said anything. Please forgive me for utubing under the influence of a few pints. I miss home grew up in the glass house mountains. Now i live in the states. Riding here is fun but it sure ain't home! Cheers
Hahaha all good mate we're all guilty of internetting under the influence. I'm just glad you mentioned you were in a different timezone cause being on the pints at 5am on a Friday would be pretty hectic, even for us alchos 😎

B&B stuff is unreal.... Had it on the KTM 20 years ago.... was the best thing on the bike
Yeah man real impressed with the B&B on the 500 as well 🤟
Bling bling. now that’s a nice shiny bit of kit, the welds are piece of art
looks like some great protection 🤙🤙
Not kidding mate that first rock it scrapes over is gonna hurt hahaha 🙈
MVDBR Enduro the sun will reflect of the mirror finish and vaporise any rocks in its path 😝
🤔 🤷♂️
Hahaha that would be fuckin handy 😅🤙
Fits like a glove. Nice piece of added protection and looks the business as well. Good work.
Cheers mate :)
Great gear, I've got them on my KLR650 and KLX450. The Tenere bash plate looks perfect.
Yeah top shelf stuff mate, thanks for the comment 🤟
That bIrd in the background sounds like it's trying to whistle ,close encounters of the third kind 👍
Very nice piece, great choice Josh, Nats is next 😁
Sadly it's hard finding bits for the 390 so far, B&B don't do any for them. Hopefully AXP will release theirs soon!
That is a lot of bling for a black bike👍
Mmm sparkly :)
Love my b&b rad braces and Aussie made too is a bonus
Definitely Grant yeah their radiator braces are fkn mint as well 🤟
Cool casual vid man. BnB obviously are the Bomb.
Myself, i also enjoyed hearing the bird life gas bagging outside.👌👌
Haha yeah fkn birds. Cheers man 🤟
Very nice looks like a quality product .
Cheers mate yeah good Aussie stuff 💪
Can't wait to see it tested.. Great looking piece of kit.
Thanks for the vid. It was a great help Mine arrived today along with the tail tidy, and I installed the bash plate this arvo. I went for the black.
Hope to install the tail tidy Thursday. Plenty of time in Vic at the moment!
I did a vid on the tail tidy as well in case ya hadn't seen that yet! Thanks for the comment mate glad the vid helped a bit 🤙
@@MVDBR I am aware. Once I had chosen my products I searched out all the videos. Great job!
How’s the black finish going? Does it scratch up and look ugly? Tossing up between silver and black.
@@blade1535 The powder coating is impressive. There are some areas that have taken some hard knocks and it has scratched. The polished aluminium is a great look. Hard choice really.
Grouse vid mate keep them coming
Solid kit from B&B. Them & my local guy at Camel ADV are the only ones providing plates with linkage protection for the T7.

Have you got your T7?
@@MVDBR This weekend, stoked!!
@@lessmore444 exciting times! ❤️❤️
Great stuff. Thanks.
Great vid
😎😎Bling bling!
Looks solid as 💯
Cheers ears yeah good quality Aussie stuff 💪
I am enjoying watching you guys any chance you might show us how the B&B compact rack goes on please.
Sorry Dan I don't have the compact rack I got the original larger rack for my Tenere.
@@MVDBR Thanks for your reply Im looking forward to fitting up some accessories and getting out myself hopefully catch up with you guys for a ride. keep up the quality videos there solid.

Good video, very easy to follow, thanks.
Quality stuff that hey.
Yeah really rate it Joe. Thanks for watching mate 🤟
Tough quality BNB gear on my Tenere. It's good to support Aussie manufacturing.
100% cheers Ian
Looks the business.
Hey Josh. What did you use to paint the brackets? I want to do the same but I’m assuming the brackets are zinc plated. Not sure what sort of paint will stick to it.
Pretty sure it was a Dulux Metalshield Epoxy Enamel rattle can mate, takes a while to harden properly but sticks pretty well without any primer 💪
Did you have to remove the lower SRC crash bars for this bash plate...it looks the mutts nuts though
Yeah the SRC lowers won't fit with too many bash plates unfortunately 😣

Thanks for the tip Mark
Absolutely correct Josh, B&B? do you even ride.
Top shelf gear mate! Thanks for the comment 🤟
Do they fit with touratech crash bars and oem centerstand?
Not sure about the Touratech bars but it says on their website it fits with oem centrestand 👍
@@MVDBR saw that and interested. But I had an incident with outback so I'm pretty leary if I don't see the centerstand on the bike during install
Yeah fair enough, I don't have those items on my bike so I can't confirm for ya
@@MVDBR update; just installed mine and i'm reasonably sure "they don't" but,,,,, with this design i believe the need IS eliminated!!! hoooray!
The need for what mate?
B&B should start making fishing rods 😂
They'd be well built 👊😁
700 motorbike tenere more handsome as those who have,😎
They went to all that trouble of making a lovely plate and mounts and didn't think captive nuts on the mounts was a good idea... So close xD
Yeah that would have been a nice addition. Still a great bashy 💪
SWMotech sell a nice looking billet cover for the water pump. Product #SCT.06.799.10000
That is cool looking but far out $192 AUD. Shit ain't cheap for these bikes! Thanks for the tip Chris
Looks like a pain in the ass to change oil & filter.
4 bolts isn't too bad for that kind of protection. And being a low maintenance engine you're only doing it every 5,000-10,000km anyway :)

Mate stick to riding vids. Save ya self. I say this cuz i care.. alot....
