There look to be 2 x sets available for £32 on the HG ebay shop.

Hope this helps someone!

Here they are. (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HEIN-GERICKE-R-G-CRASH-PROTECTORS-SUZUKI-SV650-K5-/260761033092?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3cb6919984)

Not the same as my K5 though :confused: :(
The brackets look the same but the bungs arn't tapered down near the frame side.

Or at that angle come to think of it :rolleyes:

Why do the K5's need that little bracket? On my K3 the bungs are just mounted on one bolt

I presume it's to get the bung in the correct place for leg clearance and also for weight distribution when the bikes on it's side.

When I slid of mine, the bike was balanced on the bar end slider, crash bung and paddock stand bobbin slider, nothing else touched the floor.

Well maybe the front indicator.;)

Better buying these for spare bungs than payin £46 a bung from R&G surely?

Shame their for an unfaired else 'I'd have had 'em.

anyone know if these fit a half faired K3? i know it says for a naked bike, but the half faired has no fairing at the point that they mount...

Well I have no idea what the difference is in the bungs between what they are calling faired and unfaired but if its the bike in your Avatar, they'll fit.

Might look a bit weird having the black R&G mounting block on your silver frame.

Here is the proper K3 bung that doesn't have the mounting block
