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)

[SoulKiss]

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!

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

[Nobbylad]

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

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

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

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.
