February 15, 201313 yr i have a greeves scottish does anyone know if you can buy a bash plate for them or just make them yourself ? Edited February 15, 201313 yr by scottishsteve
February 15, 201313 yr The standard Greeves never had bash plate but sometimes wish it had as I broke the cases often Unless sombody now makes them you will have to make your own The lower frame hangs down below the engine/gearbox so it was mosly the timing covers ( inner and outer ) that broke
February 17, 201313 yr Hi, I remember seeing some fitted with a sort of loop bolted or welded to the bottom loop of the frame/ engine plates, sticking out under the engine cases. How successfull they are I don't know. I think Mr Greeves may have something to suit, probably be expensive from him though. Back when I were a lad, one of my Greeves had a prop stand that disappeared between the engine plates, has anyone else seen or got one. The particular bike was ex Don Smith/factory issue, so did that have anything to do with it? Dave
March 2, 201313 yr On the two Greeves trials bikes I have owned I made L brackets for each side the engine which from memory were secured to the front engine mount bolt, similar brackets were made for the rear but right now I cannot remember where they bolted to, then two strips of alloy bent into shape which went down and under each case (mag & clutch) the engine cradle protruded slightly below. This worked well protecting the cases. Make some cardboard templates first it will give you some idea.
March 2, 201313 yr Author thanks will try when i get the engine back in will look at another greeves aswell to give me a rough idea.i thought someone might make them but will make my own.
March 2, 201313 yr my 59 scottish had a sidestand that folded up between the frame plates.. didnt need a bash plate as the frame plates plough a pretty deep furrow

Will have a look if I have a picture showing the rock guards but I do not have a clue how to post pictures here on TC.
