Motrax DHM? - Page 2 - SV650.org

11-11-05, 01:24 PM

Just spoke to JHS and they said that they no longer make the crash bungs

gutted!

Although they told me they can get bungs from an alternative supplier for £45. They haven't yet told me any other details about who makes them though.

ive heard lots of bad things about DHM.

these look pretty good to compliment whatever you go for

Why not ask if they have any more.

I just contacted that guy too... I need to replace both R&G bungs, and that comes to something daft like £55 plus p&p! I'd ordered them, but they're lost in the mail, so I'm tempted to just tell them not to send replacements. The Mokos look so much better and by reputation work as well if not better. I did like having all the same make, R&G everywhere, but I think the Mokos make more sense.

Also considering lookng for compatible bung parts off a different model... The SV R&Gs look pretty bad, largely because of the contoured bung. They use a standard bolt so if I can find bungs off a different bike that are the right length I'd go fo them. Anyone know of similiar length bungs? GSXR K3 seem quite similiar...

Why offer something at a cheaper price whaen you can quite happily sell just as many at full price because you are so well known and respected as selling the best product out there

Exactly, R&G don't need to offer discounts, they barely need to advertise these days.

I tested a Motrax in a slow speed (20mph)RHS spill last year and it did OK.I agree with what has been said about the design limitations though and doubt it would survive anything much faster.On a naked bike it shares the impact with the handlebar and of course the can on all models.In my case the bolt bent slightly but the bike slid along gracefully until the exhaust contacted the kerb.I hav'nt tested the LHS bung but would suggest swingarm bobbins and fork protectors might help.
