Newbie Says Hello and starts of with a crash bung question
Hi all,
Brand new user - Did my DAS in March & have been riding a Honda Rebel since my CBT. Been getting fed up at being burned off by mopeds at traffic lights on the daily commute between work & home so it's time for an upgrade. Picking up my SV650 s 01 later on today. Hooray!!!! In a stand out from the crowd Yellow. Now, crash bungs. I need them. Only got short legs and I can see me gonig side ways into a moped at the aforementioned traffic lights. What sor of bungs should I get? Can I fit them? (I've no mechanical experience but I can change a light bulb!). What tools do I need? Cost? Whereabouts on hte bike do they go? Thanks in advance! Dirk p.s. if you do see a yellow sv650 falling over on the A3 stop & help me! |

Hi and welcome to the forum, i would go for the r&g ones probably the best ones around the instructions are pretty easy to follow aslong as you have some spanners and a socket set to hand

Well done on the test and choosing the best colour - shame about the plastic bit stuck on the front though

Hi and welcome.
have a read of this thread about bungs. http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=39623 I've got R & G's on both my bikes. But theres plenty of choice. As for fitting I think its pretty straight forward. I got my dealer to do mine as I didnt want to chance having to use the bungs and then finding I hadnt fitted them properly. HTH
