Who has crash bungs?

[andrewsmith]

YC

become UK importer

Maybe we need to club together as a community and see if we can get a job lot as a discounted rate? It'd save on postage plus maybe we can get a bulk discount.

Other than YC who has a personal arguement with the bloke, I and many others have never had a problem with him supplying 'motosliders', whatever issues people have with other products, it should not stop them buying from him.

I had more issues trying to get motosliders themselves to actually reply to my many emails enquiring how to acquire their product, when I was after the second set for Suzy, and gave up in the end, and within 6 days had them delivered by SV racing parts......and have subsequently bought one set for YC, spares and bobbins from him since.

It's not just me who has argument.

My argument is not personal, it is a result of his business practices ripping off other active and helpful parts of SV community, including the theft of designs and then the theft of images to sell the items on eBay. His recent antics with the not-quite-lining-up caliper adaptor plates and presenting false images on here notwithstanding.

I've had problems with him. I've found he's misleading (which I unravelled before sale) and before I found he was deceitful I found that he was slimey and smug. It's fair for people to want to do business with someone else - crying out for a competitor (if the demand's there) + ofcourse no usa waiting times

Not reaally, although I do have them on the street triple r, I would never have them again on an alloy framed bike again, when i wrote off my Tuono, the R&G crash bobbins I had on where the sole reason it was written off as they cracked the frame and the garage said it's a common problem with alloy framed bikes.

I have never seen it on SV's, the crashbungs don't mount to any tab with leverage to snap frame.

Not on the SV but on other makes such as Aprilia they do.

Has any one ever fitted crash bungs to the front forks? Brought this set of eBay because I thought it would give better protection, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-SV6...ht_1141wt_1139
Unfortunately I can't see how to fit the front bobbins, and after a couple of emails to the seller still no answer? Any advice appreciated.

Those front ones are for when you have hollow front spindle like GSXR. Suppose you could drill and tap spindle but I would be inclined not to try that.
