I did thousands of miles on both my SVs in the wet and not once did either suffer from the misfire that some report, I did regularly clean out the drain hole though, maybe that had something to do with it. I fitted a fender extender to the second one purely because someone gave me it

Amazing!!!!

2. Took off the lower fairings. Removed the old crash bung on off-side and the brackets on both sides. Replaced the bolts and fitted the R&G Bungs. Had a bit of a mare getting the main engine bolt off. A 2 man job so I did get Chris to help. Fitted the new engine bolt, adjusted the R&G Bung bracket to get it all together. Tightened all the bolt and bingo new R&G Bungs fitted.

Have left the fairings off as I want to get some new bolts as 3 out of the 4 are different. Also the near-side bung will not come off the bracket so I'm gonna try and dremel it tomorrow!!

Anyway, I good day for the spanner wielding girlie!!!!
So you never got me a spare bung then?
