Could someone tell me where to go? - SV650.org

I am in the market for some Crash Bungs. I need to find somewhere to buy em and somewhere to fit em. Both, hopefully, in the Islington/city of london area (although I'm not aversed to mail order and DIY).

Anyone have any ideas?

People seem to rate R&G's. Although I've tested them it was on rutted ground so not really that fair a test.

They are easy to fit, you just need a torque wrench, some sockets and 10 mins.

I had a set of GSG moko bobbins on mine and they had been down the road a couple of times. Insurance replaced them with R&G which I have yet to test!

I went down to R&G, a quick Saturday morning blast down to Farnborough & they fitted them free.
I think it was Farnborough...

I'd recommend R&G's.. can buy them online, easy to fit yourself if you've got a torque wrench

True, ~ £50 for a torque wrench though, if you're the type who'll do nothing to the bike yourself it might not be worth it.

Daytona's in Islington, on Pentonville Road, do them and they're nice chaps.

Pick up a pair of R&G's mail order
Bring 'em along to Nero's - we'll fit 'em

If Bigape can have his jets changed in the middle of the street, then I see no reason why your crash bungs can't be fitted

I was quite easy to fit my fairing protectors. Got them from JHS racing for 60 quid. It was a 15min job to fit them with a friend of mine. If they guys can do jets, then they can easily do this. I'd help you do it myself if you provide the tools.
