LoobMan woes?
I sorry to hear you didn't have a good run from your LoobMan, Ted. I don't come on here to directly promote the LoobMan kits (as evidenced by my recommendation of a LoobMan or similar), even though I sell them. I even directed Paul to the international sales site. But I must say I have sold and/or fitted at least a hundred LoobMan kits and I have never had anyone come back to me to say they are unhappy. That doesn't mean they all worked fine, but I expect I would hear from some. Care taken in the mounting is everything, but you can't allow for things like stone strike.
To quote Ted:
"will self destruct in about 10 mins as soon as the going gets rough and the zip tie feeder snaps CONSTANTLY"
I have had mine on both my F650s, one a Funduro and one a GS, for about 2 years and a combined total of 20,000km. Most of the kms were done on tarmac, but a lot was on the gravel back roads and 4WD tracks, of which there are an abundance in NZ. I have worn out two zip tie feeders on the bike that has done 15,000km, but I have never snapped one, other than the first pair which broke off the first time I rode the bike. That was my fault. They mostly snap when the feeder gets too close to the sprocket teeth.
I'm sure Ted, that your appraisal is accurate for your experiance.
Regards
Nigel in NZ
