Help please I got a Belly Pan from P & P Motorcycle Bodyworks via eBay. It came complete with all the brackets and bolts etc. I can get it to sit-in place but am unable to get the U shaped brackets to sit in the correct position on the frame at the rear. I've tried everything but there is no way to get them to go where they need to on the bike. Has anyone else had the same issue and if so how did you resolve it??

When I did mine, I fitted the brackets over the frame, then used longer bolts I sourced with spacer tubes between the inside of the belly pan and the frame brackets to hold the belly plan just far enough away from the pipes.

As said bin them they are crap. Get pipe clips easy to fit and don’t scratch ya frame.
Most plumbers merchants will sell. Think i got 22mm if I remember correctly

I used 25mm rubber lined P clips last week also made sure I ordered ones with M6 hole as some are too small for the bolts  mart  20191116_132243 (2) by martin finch, on Flickr |

Thanks for all the advice. I've ordered a pack of 5 x 25mm P Clips.
The frame has been scratched as you can see from the last photos so I will have to sort that our before I refit the clips.
A shame they sell such a good belly pan and spoilt it with crap brackets. I will ask get a set of black bolts and washers as the silver doesn't look right either.

Got my P Clips and fitted the belly pan. Can't understand why the supplier doesn't send P Clips instead of the metal U brackets that are $hit?? Had to touch in the frame and can see me doing it properly over the Winter. Will also change the washers to smaller ones and possibly go black bolts and washers?

No matter where you buy the belly pan from they come with half a ton of useless u brackets I junked them and used p clips with rubber backing.

must admit when I fitted the pan before it was painted it was a real pain , but for some reason when painted it went on with very little swearing compared to first time I used M6 black stainless counter sunk allen bolts with the washers to suit from carbolts on ebay  20191128_165951 by martin finch, on Flickr mart |
