Stock K3-K4-K5 crash protectors

[TSM]

This is what happened to Valman's stock crash protector fitted to all K3-K5 bikes that have lowers.

It shows that the protector is hollow and just broke in two parts, totaly crap for the job.

The new RG protectors have been redesigned and will work with all SVs faired and un faired. Unfortunatly the people that have the K3-5 faired bikes will have to pay £20 more for them.

Add 'em to the list along with DHMs and Top Blox, and possibly the old R&Gs, as Crash Bungs That Don't Work.

at least the others work better that the suzuki ones which dont work at all.

To be honest it didn't actually break off completely, that was done by Spiderman and myself trying to get it back into its original place. It was however cracked badly and bent back towards the frame, pulling the lower fairing with it causing damage to it, and would have broken off had I been going any more than 10-15 mph. They are just a terrible design and one of the worst things you can't see in the picture is that at the flat side of the 'S' mount we found that the metal is about 0.5-1mm thick all the way down, and that's probably why it cracked so badly at the weld point.

Nah, the DHMs for the carbed bike don't work at all either...
