What Cloggsy means is that a crash bung's job is to take the impact damage. It's supposed to bend/buckle/break off (well, ideally not break off) to minimise the impact force.

DHM's aren't that great at doing that, supposedly (I've never used them). I've read that they tend to pass the impact direct to the frame. A damaged frame means a writen off bike!!

I personally use R&G's, and only tested once. It did it's job perfectly in my case.

Also, looks like a K6, could be a K5 though. What's the paperwork say for year?

They don't do their job... If you are unfortunate enough to drop the bike they will damage your frame as opposed to protect it (like they are supposed to...) That is why I'd go for the R&G ones They are more expensive, but do they job they are intended for

Its a K5 Baph

my DHM's worked on my old 650, surpose it depends on what type of crash you have?

How do you see that? Whats the difference? It's a 2006 model ..

Are there any parts that f.x will fit a K6, but not a K5 ?

Just colours was the diff wasnt it?

Some new pics of my SV, and my friends Kwak (Z750 '07):

Nice, new exhaust next for you I'd say!

That dark screen looks good, do you know what make it is? Why have you only got tape on the front wheel? Tape only makes your bike faster if you have it on both wheels!

Been toying with the idea of tape on my wheels. I have the sv as in my avatar. Not sure what colours would go, apart from blue which is prob common.
