Ebay is full of them, any comments on the following?

Re: Which (cheap) crash bungs?

Go to a company that manufactures them rather than a supplier, bad fitting or cheap crash bungs are more likely to do extra damage rather than save damage.

Sometimes crash bungs are bad as they may allow the bike to slide but then when the bike slids into a kerb or over a grid they dig in damage the mounting points (frame/engine etc) and flip the bike over to damage the other side.

You can pay £20 for a pair to either damage or save your bike or you can pay £150 pair to damage or save your bike, i dont and never will fit them to a bike as i think they are just a waste of money.

Maybe they are good for a newbie who might drop the bike at walking pace through lack of experience but not worth the trouble for experienced riders. The extra joke is some crash bungs even fit by drilling big holes in your fairing, whats the point in that??

The cheap bungs are known to damage frames.

If you cant just justify R+G prices import a set of motosliders from the states

either Matt is on new tablets or mine are working a bit better but i agree with him and to add whats the point of them when you know that the insurance company are just going to write your bike off with any kind of damage. better putting your money towards better tyres or a day out.

R+Gs are sh*te for the SV, fold up like paper. Motosliders are much better.

Even the ones with the massive chunky braket for the full faired SV?

Hope not as that's what I have on mine. They look pretty substantial to me and look like they could take a right wack.

NOT that intend testing them!
