Where do you put crash bungs on a curvy? - SV650.org

Howdee

Take a look at where my crash bungs are. Alloy ones, just below the fairing;

The previous owner fitted them. If I look down the length of the bike the fairing stands proud of the bungs by a good 1/2 inch. This means of course that if I was unfortunate enough to lie her down, the bungs would do nothing to save my plastics. Frame would probably benefit.

Are my bungs on the right place?

Cheers!

not sure what make you have .but mine are here

i think with most bungs they are ment to save engine & not the plastics

Just seen your (pink) arrow.

Ah-ha. I cant remember what make mine are. I'm not going to look right now 'cos it's cold outside and I have no clothes on.

If bungs on general aren't intended to save plastics, only frame/engine then I guess where my bungs are is good enough!

Thanks!

Ooh! Nice SV.

Thanks for the photo. I think very long bungs would be required to offer any protection to the plastics.

I know what I'll do. I'll try extra hard to keep it shiny-side up.

Oh, yes, and mine are shiner. Ribbed too... (Seriously, they are.

Its true. Bungs really are not there to save plastics, but the frame and engine, the VERY expensive parts. If they do save the plastics, then all groovy. It really depends on how you throw your bike down the road.

As for where yours are placed, i cant see the pretty pictures at work.
