new R&G £70 good or not?

I need some as O think they are a good investment- !! as I am third party !

69.99 is the best price I have found to date- anyone had a better deal???

Its about right. I paid £70 for mine, and also did a bit of shopping around but couldnt get them cheap enough to warrant paying p+p (picked them up from a local dealer).

Would like to know if anyone knows of somewhere selling R&G stuff cheaper as id like a few of there other products.

im after some R&Gs too, can you post the links to the shops please?

Cheers,
RoB

that's about right

make sure you get the newer ones as the old ones are allegedly not so good

"Allegedly" IMO it's not that the old ones were bad- still one of the better options for the SV- just that they could have been much better. We heard about more R&Gs failing than anyone else, but then again we probably have 5 times as many R&Gs fitted than anything else.

The new ones seem very solid, they're pretty ugly, and they certainly worked when I managed to jump off at 5mph

I spoke to R&G at Beaulieu Motorcyle World yesterday, no show discounts, listed at £69.99 for a "curvey" and they didn't bring any along. Only benefit from ordering at the show was free p&p.

The guy I spoke did admit there was a problem with the earlier design (the plastic bung tends to pop out of the alloy cup when used in anger!).

I had some R & G's on (the old style) when i got knocked off 2 weeks ago at 35mph - they saved the bike completely, and i got away with a broken gear peg, mirror and fairing scratches, even though i ground along a kerb - i can't recommend them enough. It did pop out of the alloy cup, and the new ones i have are different, and have 2 attachment points each side, and look more sturdy, although they aren't very attractive, they are so worth it.

I just dont like the way they bend easily, even in most of their adverts they show a crashed bike with the protector at 45 degrees to where it used to be, great for ovaling holes.

I use Moko's and never had a problem, nicely machined alloy base that fits tightly in the frame with a wider base to take the impact

tis the new ones!! like welsh has!! I saw his pics..
i like the idea of the bar across and therefore no cutting of the bodywork..!

I will have a look locally to see if i can save on p and p

I got mine straight from the manufacturers
