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

Cheers for all your super fast replies... I have my test subjects

Wooo Hooo.....my kind of thread!!!!!

I had a crash on the mway at 70mph in which the bike slid on the R&G. I then had a 2mph drop (That doesnt count). Then I decided that I wanted to see if my R&G would make a good ice skate!!! Lets just say it did. Not had many problems other than that the ice incident caused the engine bar to bend and was a pig to get out.

No picks though sorry as never really wanted a memento of my crashy mcgee exploits!!!!

couldnt tell you the full extent of the damage, (im STILL waiting for an engineers report)

basically someone turned right as i was overtaking him (just after he had pulled out in front of me)....

the ins wrote it off due to every panel/fairing piece being scratched, a dent in the tank, the gear lever rod thingy being bent, the ns front footrest hanger being snapped, the viper exhaust being scratched, the right mirror broken off etc etc.....

i bought it back for £100, spend about £70 on a bracket and a mirror.....got it mot;d (it passed) and back on the road


still got the damage, but as long as i get the payout then its a £200 bike! happy days!

the bung itself was undamged apart from a slight scuffing, was just the bolt that bent

By the way Dappa.....not sure who you spoke to at RnG but I managed to buy individual parts that I needed. Managed to get just the crash bung on its own for 11 squids.

Yup, I asked for one engine bar, one engine bolt, one crash bung. All were priced seperately. They originally tried to get me to buy the kit but as the kit includes the bracket I just said no thanks.....only need a couple of bits.

I've got a picture honey!

R7G have been brill with me this time, theyve changed the style of kit for the curvy and my one has old style so they couldnt supply just the one side i needed, so theyve done me the new kit for HALF price plus free p&p

Completely forgotten we had them!! Yup, the bike slid at 70mph down the mway and if it hadn't been for the crash bung the bike probably would have fliped. That being said, I think I was quite lucky that the bung didn't catch on anything and therefore flip.
