Thievin Bastards!

It appears someone has pinched my belly pan while parked at work yesterday. Extremely slim chance that it could have fallen off while riding, but I think I would have heard or felt it, and it has 3 bolts that all would have had to fall off at the same time which I've had no problems with in the last 3 years.

Before:



After:



I guess I'm going to have to polish the pipes or buy a new belly pan now (or both).

And I was just about to Plasti Dip the bike this weekend. I won't be doing the belly pan

that sucks
that just plain sucks

So they stole your belly pan, but left you a rear rack and gave you rim stripes... are you sure you took the right bike?

Sorry to hear, man, that sucks.

they gave him passenger pegs too

And painted my radiator guards for me and swapped out the TB sticker for a Casey Stoner one. Thieves are becoming nice folk these days

 

[Sith Lord]

This is becoming a guessing game of the mods I did after I bought it. Keep it coming......

Seriously though, I've now got to look out for a new Belly Pan. I think mine was a Ermax. The ebay one for $119- is looking the best value for money at the moment.

It would indeed seems as if you would run it over as well.

My swing arm lock nut fell off and the chain adjuster and I didn't notice untill my chain popped off.

I see you have the oggy knob fade. Mine have done the same

Number plate change? looks different between the two.

Yeah, they're really pale now. And they are real oggy knobs. Not a cheap knock off. Will plasti-dip them black on the weekend.

Correct, change of states. I didn't think of that one, 2 more I'm thinking of that are visible.

That's sux mate on a plus side , there can't be to many fizzers in Canberra so it could be real easy to get back

 

[agf]

That's right. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw one. Will certainly be keeping my eye out.

I use Motovation. They are 5 years old now and still look like new.

 

[twack]

brake levers and possibly new handle bars but that might just be the angle

 

[Sith Lord]

:thumbup: I had forgotten about the black ASV levers. Yes, FZ1 bars and the other tricky one was heated grips!

For feck sake, how low can you get. Is there any CCTV that may have caught the scum at work? This isn't a random act, those toss pots have been watching your bike for a while. Tell us more about where you park, proximity to other businesses and activity.

It's weird. It's off street parking under a carport at the back of our business. A lot of vehicle traffic (mechanics, car yards around), but no foot traffic. Road is just a one way service road. There is a 4WD Accessory place that shares our carpark though. I thought they might have seen something (no cameras around that I can see). But the bike was probably obscured by a car one side and a bush the other perhaps. And, yes if they've been watching for a while, they may have known there were only 3 hex bolts holding it on so it would be quick to steal.

I have done 3 trips since now to and from work and looked thoroughly just in case it did fall off, but I still can't see that happening. It would have flapped around for a while, then run over it. Just can't see it......

So now, do I buy another for them to steal, or do I put the rear seat cowl on that I've just painted, ready for them to steal that???

 

[twack]

get another one put get one of those alarms that goes off if someone moves your bike around. after seeing your bike im super tempted to get a belly pan like yours. it really gives your bike a certain look
