Default Re: Recommend me some crash bungs!!

My R&Gs have always bent and snapped off in several low speed lowsides. I think it's actually the attachment bolt that's at fault. My Motosliders were much better and the slider was usually still attached but half ground away - which is more what you'd expect.

Having said that, i'd imagine a bike at low speed could actually hit the ground a lot harder than one at higher speed in a corner as you're already tipped over so there's less distance to fall.

Can you still get Motosliders? Nate and his website seem to have disappeared completely. I'd have another set in preference to R&Gs.
