no takers for this thread? i would have thought someone would have come across them

They bolt to the engine most of the riding schools have them fitted as they offer better protection than crash bungs.

[hovis]

never seen them on a SV look a bit OTT on a bandit IMO but they serve a purpuse

[sv-robo]

my dad used to ave em on his old gsx 750,good protection for for engine oil casing etc & protect better the the crappy little crash bobbins we have these days.

only problem being they tend to look a bit numb.

i have sent a message to the ebay seller asking for pics of them on an SV650 to see if they do infact look a bit crap as i am starting to imagine they might.

i will post the pic if i get one, but for about £40 i might just get them anyway & see what they are all about

whats the betting they fit to the area of the engine that i have just fitted motoslider crach protectors to?
poss' rendering them un-fitable.

Having never seen them on the SV, this is but a guess, but i reckon they will mount on the same engine bolt.

Found this on pic for you Alan, might not be the same set but you get the idea....

Personally I wouldn't fit them, I'm happy with my JHS bungs (similar to motosliders but just a bit tougher)

One more before I go back to work....

1st set covered by the above, may look a bit fugly, but it's winter and they'll probably do a decent job if it all goes Pete Tong.

2nd set are bars to surround the Nekkid headlight and clocks. Again, not a thing of beauty. It's a practical thing....

[maultin]

now i understand - not for me the cockpit bars

[northwind]

Good crash bungs provide a lot of protection, I suppose it just depends how often you intend to crash :mrgreen: The SV's got a narrow engine so it tends not to touch down much in crashes.

There's other options, mind... Frinstance, there's assorted case protection options, like the Factory Pro clutch casing with the humungous crash bung as sold by JHS (or I think, cheaper straight from Factory Pro), or the kevlar engine armour Bike Johnny sell.

[maultin]

thanks northwind, i like the idea of the engine armour, but its very expensive

[northwind]

I have no idea how well it works btw ;)
