Default Cheap crash bobins...

Anyone used these, or think they'd be up to the job judging by the infomation within the listing?

I think I'm tempting fate by not having any crash bungs on my first bike, but the R & G ones are a tad out of my immediate price range (saving for leathers).

Cheers

never seen em before
carbon look spells trouble to me though (lookswise aswell actually) probably worth a punt at the price think mine were about £50. They've had a hard whack, not too much sliding though.

ive got cheep'o ones on the gixer which look well made, you always get some damage anyhow even with expencive jobbie's, id say cheap ones are better than none.

my reason for cheep'o was the "no cut option" for the gixer, these were the only set i could find that didnt need a hole cutting in my fairing.

Hmmm look like a similar setup to motoslider. Can't see them being worse than R+G (that would take some serious fckin effort!)

i read on here these type are not very good becuase they mount using a small bolt, fold easily, and incorrectly located.

That's about the sum of it.

Care to back up your recommendation james?
