In my experience, crash bungs are good for fall-over protection, but not for actual crashes. My previous SV rolled off its stand and hit the deck, the R&G bungs fitted by the previous owner saved the fairing, indicators, levers etc from getting scratched / broken. The only damage was the toe peg of the gear lever broke off.

However, in a 45mph lowside on spilled diesel, the bungs didn't save any damage.
