Water Pump Guard

I saw an 04 450 today with the water pump cover broken. I think I want a few of those guards. Any idea who sells them? I had heard Dave Clark Racing has them in the UK. Anybody have any input or perhaps a web address?

The guy with the 450 says he has a KTM 450EXE and prefers the Berg.
 
Berger,

If you like I could broker a job lot for you - pretty much straight from the guy who commisions their manufacture. let me know how many and I can get you some prices if you like.

To be quite frank dealing with Dave Clarke can be a bit of a lottery - sometimes he does actually send things out when he says - often he doesn't and you end up waiting a very long time. I'm sorry if this offends anyone but it is quite frankly the truth of it.

Cheers,
Simon
 
water pump cover

Hi simon,
I can see what you mean about Clarkey, but if you ask for Alex at D.C.R. you wont have any problems with orders. Hope this helps,

Thanks Simon,
I could probably use at least 6 depending on price (I'm sure Splat wants one as well as the guy that just broke his cover).
PM me price and availability if it's not a problem.

Thanks,
Ken

There you go mate,
I live 2 minutes away from dave's and we are good mates so if you have any probs let me know and I will get one sorted for you

Hi Gix,

Hey, I went to the DCR site but couldn't find the water pump guard. Could you tell me where it is at the site??
 
I think you have to call them for it. I looked last year on the site and never found it either.
 
Ok. I know the the website isn't that old and they are still in the process of building it (aren't all websites). I f you cannot find the parts then use the contact us link and email them.
Simon i presume you meant me when you mentioned upsetting anyone as I know Dave fairly well,,, but I actually agree with you and brookester is correct..contact Alex and you will have no probs. I'm in the fortunate position of being on his doorstep so I have never had to go the mail order route but I have heard the stories.
DaleEO..go to the website and use the contact us link at the bottom of the page there is a link for christines email...send her a note telling her what you need and she will pass it on to Alex. I know they have some in stock as I was there on Sat

Hi Gix,

No, I wasn't meaning you personally, it was more directed towards others who can get offended when any criticism of Dave Clarke is put forwards on this forum - a good few of them lurkers :wink:

Unfortunately the issues are not just about mail order of in-stock items either.

Cheers,
Simon

to say after just 9 posts that a comment must be aimed at you is silly. many of us have had issues with DCR in the past and no longer choose to do business with him. whilst i can only speak for myself (like dozens such as simon have :wink: :wink: ) we don't wish it to go any further as we love these bikes first and foremost.

there are many of you out there with good things to say about DCR so don't flame us.

what i will say is this, i have a waterpump protector but i don't even run a sump guard! i see it as the highest priority. in 2003 i was about to win an enduro championship with banovallum in lincs when arriving back from the 'sighter lap' i was told on the line that my bottom hose had gone. championship over.

also all machines in TBM appear to be fettled by gary grover motorcycles and he sends them off to test with handguards and a waterpump cover-top priority!

gents, the waterpump guards do their job but they are in 'untreated' aluminium which means that they corrode and 'spiders web' easily. if you're in to more of the 'show' than the 'go' you'll need to treat the metal first.

also the exchange rate to the states is poor at the moment and you may not like that!

finally if you want to see a picture of it and copy it over the pond, please go into race and reports and look up the FE450e test i linked us up to. i don't know where but it's in there somewhere!

regards

Taffy

Woah taffy , hold on mate.
Firstly I wasn't having a go at Simon and secondly I wasn't flying the DCR banner or ''flaming'' anyone
If you notice I actually agreed with Simon.
I believe people can make their own decisions based on their own beliefs and I have no intentions of trying to influence them in anyway.
My first response was merely to try and help someone who was asking for info.
The reason I presumed Simon was aiming the post towards me is I had put in my first reply that I know dc quite well. If I thought one of your mates was an arse and you asked my opinion I would say ''sorry, no offence but he's an arse'' (this is just an example so don't take it to heart)
Finally, I fail to see how the amount of posts I have left is of any relevance. I stumbled across this site whilst looking for some bits for my berg and luckily found what I needed straight away. I then trawled through the site and found it excellent with loads of information and I log into it on a daily basis.
For what its worth, I spend a lot of my time trawling the internet for berg bits, worldwide cos at the end of the day I too just want the best deal my money can buy.
Maybe you should try getting out of the other side of the bed tomorrow morning taffy :wink:
