I have R & G's on my K5, I wouldn't try to torque up the main bolt to Suzuki's recommended setting of 93 N-m as it striped the thread on one of the nuts!
R&G weren't very sympathetic when i asked them about it at the NEC.

Mokos were cheap until I decided I wanted some... Now they're back up in price again If I can't find a set (or two, for spares) soon I'll get Motosliders from the USA. Would've got the JHS ones but he's stopped selling the old ones I hear.

Not that there's anything wrong with the R&Gs but replacement parts are very expensive- £20 for a bung, £10 for a bolt it seems, plus postage- and since the bolts are designed to bend that's a bit of a downer. So I ought to have half a set of R&Gs for sale, cheap, soon

The SV Rider guys recommend Motosliders very highly... To the point of treating anyone who uses anything else like a redheaded stepchild. And I just spoke to Nate, who makes them, and he's offered to do me a set of bungs, a pair of spare bungs, and a set of their swingarm sliders all for £93 including shipping. Can't argue with that, won't even try, so I'll be cancelling my long-delayed R&G parts order tomorrow and ordering a set of these.

For sale: One set of "part used" new-style R&Gs Poor condition...

I had Moko GSC's I think they where called... tested them on both sides.. worked lovely.. even at about 40mph. I have no idea how well the R&G's work.

I have R&G bungs. They worked well on my low speed off last February. No damage to the fairing. They only wore down a small amount, so they are still on the bike, plus I have a spare set, courtesy of the insurance. I would recommend them to anyone who asks.

Idea!!! Perhaps I could flog them to Scoobs, he seems to need them!!
