The old JHS bungs were really good but they don't supply them any more sadly. I was very impressed with the new R&Gs, they worked really well after a big, big hit- whole bike was kicked into the air and hammered down on its side. The bung bent, as they're designed to, but didn't bend. But TSM's right. there's been some less-good reports.
Thing is, the parts are very expensive- the bolts are designed to bend to help soak up impacts, but that means that after any decent-sized crash you'll want a new bolt and bung... And that comes to about £40.
So, rather than do that, I just fitted a set of Motosliders. Nate just posted a price for UK delivery- do a search for posts by "Motosliders" and see what you get. I paid £93 delivered in the UK for a set of bungs, a set of spare sliders, and a set of swingarm sliders! They're not common over here but the SV Rider mob can't get enough of them, everyone uses them.
I use Castrol GPS semi-synth, because it's a pretty colour and easily available.
