have seen other makes where the bold has bent and even some can damage the frame instead of absorbing the impact...

I have R&Gs on my blade..

also seen many R&Gs on SVs fail and snap off, im only talking about the SV not how they are on other bikes, they saved the engine casing on my Kwak both times. But then again there are many people that have had R&Gs work fine on SVs. The motovation ones are very similar to the MotoSliders bungs which get a very good rating.

again problem, they are mounted to the front engine bolts, long leverage point, easy to bend. From what ive seen they do work but then afterwards are a mare to remove, remebmer they bolt into the engine itself so a possable problem if they were to snap as the engine is also held in place by them. Im not sure, but the length ive seen do not seem to work well with faired bikes.

Dores anyone have pictures of these R&Gs I got mounted on their bike?

On the big bolt that goes through the engine, do I use the original nuts again??
errmm.. I think I have one nut missing on the R&G bungs I was given.... there's supposed to be 2 nuts for the long bolt included in the kit right?

Whether Curvy or Pointy the best on the market today are Motosliders, available from here as they are out of stock at the manufacturers.

No, they mount to the front cylinder mounting bolt and they fold like cheese.
