Which (cheap) crash bungs?
 
As a new rider I think it might be sensible to fit a set of crash bungs so does anyone have any advice on which (cheap) ones to go for?

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

+1 R&G's all the way. Have also experienced cheaper alternatives, not good!

Cheap because I think that £100 is excessive. It's not like they're some engineering masterpiece, not enough to warrant a 10x price difference anyway.

R&G's are only £70 they saved my bike from over £300 worth of damage and that was a 25mph spill if i had lesser bungs or no bungs the rad would be toast and at £300 for a rad id gladly pay £70 for R&G's

if you cant aford it then get some cheep ones, then save ure ass off for some proper ones

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

Just paint some yoghurt pots black and stick them on your fairing ;)
