seedoubleyou Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'm looking for a sump guard for my Cub. I've seen this snazzy looking thing from Sammy Miller...er made of plastic. Can I ask whether anyone has fitted one of these and if they are robust. I'm guessing the alternative is the steel one from Meridan offroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cub200 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 I had one on one of my Cubs, they do the job of protecting the engine ok and sliding over obstacles and they fit nicely. The only problem I found was that the bike will not sit on a bike stand safely to work on without other means of holding it upright. Here's a big hello from Australia to some good old mates from the Midland centre and the BMCA, not many of the old guys still riding these days according to results.

I can second that , worked well , fitted well , but unstable on a stand , i put up with it at first , but made an alloy one in end Is it better ? Probably not , but hasn't fell off stand since ... Don't worry about being plastic , it fits well and can take a punch. 6 hours ago, cub200 said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedoubleyou Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'm thinking this one might be a better bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naichuff Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I also use a Miller sump guard on my cub I usually remove it when working on the bike as it covers the screws to the cases and drain plugs The Meriden one is very smart I saw it last year at the Telford Show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwisemcg Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 I also had a miller sump guard fitted when i bought the bike. I can only echo what everyone else is saying, it works well protecting the bike, but you can't use it on a bike stand. So I ended up getting one from Chris at Meriden Off Road. So far it's been great, it slots right on, it's stable on a bike stand and seems to do a good job protecting the cases. What more can you ask for for under 40 quid. You can see it here.
