Re: Recommend me some crash bungs!!
I very nearly entirely agree But I'd say that some are rubbish regardless of what sort of crash, the original DHM right side bung was so bad I could probably have snapped it off by hand. True that no 2 crashes are the same, but when you see half a dozen similiar crashes and the bungs fail in the same way, or dozens of crashes and none fail at all, you can get a good idea of what to expect.

Re: Recommend me some crash bungs!!
Does anyone have GSGs? Am asking cos they seem to be one of the very few for the 675 without cutting the fairing.

Re: Recommend me some crash bungs!!
Motosliders are the ones to have, the R&G's are not up to the job even when you use a corrected shape bung (hence why R&G have not changed the current design). No slider will completely protect your bike, obviously, but for the price that motosliders are (inc UK delivery) and the damage protection they offer they simply are the best buy!

Re: Recommend me some crash bungs!!
Dave - no question of R&Gs, I'd have to drill a 28mm hole in the fairing. No thanks.
Got a link for Motosliders? GSG are German. The site is in German too and UK distributor BikeJohnny is expensive - it would be cheaper to import from the USA. The sliders bolt onto the engine, the pix on the site look good. |

Re: Recommend me some crash bungs!!
I found these which don't require cutting the fairing:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Triumph-Dayton...QQcmdZViewItem 110 though is a little on the expensive side for bungs, but if they work, then I wouldn't complain! The others I was going to look at (other than GSG) are Sky king: http://skykingproducts.com/Merchant2...Category=12874 General consensus on what I have read though is that GSG are the better design
