Recommend me some crash protectors - K6.
I'm after some crash protectors for the SV650 K6 but I've heard some reviews of some protectors just snapping off on a slow slide. R&G seem to be the most popular but I've heard mixed reviews.

Re: Recommend me some crash protectors
R+G or Motosliders
They're the best two on the market

If you have an S, then R+G all the way.
They come with new fairing mounts that are a solid block of aluminium. They replace the ****e Suzuki things and work really well |

R+G on mine and shunted from behind a couple of months ago. They saved a lot of damage but the lower fairing was still scratched, not too badly, but still got replaced under the claim. I'd recommend them but never used any others.

Re: Recommend me some crash protectors
Do K3 or K4 R&G crash bungs fit a K6, or must I buy them specifically for the K6?

Re: Recommend me some crash protectors
Motosliders are definately the way to go. I did a good bit of research before i bought mine and they seem to be highly rated. Ordered from blair at svracingparts.com. Good customer service, good prices and delivery and quality and fit is second to none. If you have fairings on your bike then get the no cut version, you wont have to cut the fairings to fit them. Ive never had r&g stuff so i cant really comment, but when i was looking at crash protectors motosliders seemed to be rated higher than them. Google it and see for yourself!

R&G all the way. A much stronger fixing spread through 2 attachment points!

Re: Recommend me some crash protectors
Don't seem bad TBH.
I've got the cotton reels on the bike from him and they're make of a slightly softer nylon than R&Gs are
