Calling the Mighty Org - your tested R&G opinions.
 

I'm doing a Living With report on fitting my SV with R&G crash bungs in the next week and was wondering if any of you have been unfortunate enough to crash test your R&G crash bungs.

If you have could you please PM me or email me, I'd like to feature you in MCN.

meeeeee!!! (2 outta my 3 sv's i owned have been crashed by me or treacle with r&g crash bungs on them)

Re: Calling the Mighty Org
 

Have trashed 2 on my pointy SV - both on the left side.

In both cases they sheered the bolt at the mount point.

off in Nov...

it bent the bolt....called R&G who wanted something like £36 as they only do it in a set......i now ride with 1 crash bung

the bike was written off ( I bought it back)....

dropped twice when cleaning and was fine..no damage because of the bungs..but first crash....first write off!

Re: Calling the Mighty Org
 

No probs here, only time the bung has sheared off was this time when it hit kerb so id expect it to snap off

Re: Calling the Mighty Org
 

Mine just bent in my off in Feb....new bung and new cotton reel from R&G around £40 all in IIRC.

What happened Dappa?

The bung and bike look undamaged. Looks like somebody has just come along and ****ted it with a hammer

Re: Calling the Mighty Org
 

Had a spill at about 10mph on tarmac did not bend but did wear down suppisingly and did not 100% save the fairing good couple of scratches can get a pic if you would like. Dom

Re: Calling the Mighty Org
 

They aren't meant to save fairing from getting scuffed, its to save the major parts like frame etc

Re: Calling the Mighty Org
 

i dropped my SV in the driveway when cleaning it. crash bungs prevented everything except a slight bend to the gear lever (still there) and a scuff on the mirror.
