They do... work on most low speed spils upto about 40 mph, maybe more but then I've had no experience, work even when some fool drops your bike off the back of a recovery truck.
Saved me a fortune when I broke my thumb, only had to get new right foot peg, brake leave, brake pedal, and indicator. Rather then, pannels, engine casing, maybe even lights and a tank.

Yes, definitely worth getting them. Personally, I've tested them at 40mph and also 30mph and even when I slid down the road some way, the body work was still fine.

RnGs are the ones to get IMO.

Great invention :wink:

I'd not be without bungs of some sort- and not cheap rubbish either, you do get what you pay for. I crashed at 70mph on a trackday, picked it up and rode home. Try that without bungs...

Chewys seem ok for the money. I have them fitted but not drooped the bike yet :o

I'm not going to knock Chewy's, I've always been impressed by his parts- but his are based on the Suzuki ones, which are diabolical and have been known to break off in 0 mph drops. His are going to be be better for sliding drops, from what he's said, (better lider material, so less likely to grab, and not as long so less leverage stress) but he'd not done anything to address the basic weakness of the design. Or at least, if he has, he hasn't mentioned it- feel free to correct me if you're reading Chewy!

Correct Mr North. They really need a bar welded to strengthen them between the two mounting points.

The problem is they are not made by Suzuki They are made under licence by a Dutch or I think German company called TCP cant remember the website will look later. I must admit the fittings aren’t as good as my last genuine GSXR lowers.

Another problem is spare parts for them, they seem impossible to get hold of because Suzuki don’t stock any of them and TCP cant be bothered to answer enquires or follow up phone calls.


I make the replacement crash bungs to fit them and I am currently making a batch of the round discs that fit in the same place in black.
