 Knew a graphic design guy who scanned a £20 note and altered it so there was a picture of him giving the finger instead of the queen, plus various swearing instead of the numbers and figures. Used to hand them to tramps and homeless people who were overjoyed at his generosity. Until they took a closer look at the note. |

Humm, only trouble is the tramps know what he look's like and will mug him next time they see him...
Good Idea, but would have used the bosses photo instead...

Glad you're back on 2 wheels mate. Regarding the crash mushrooms, Unfortunatly I've seen the old R7G mushrooms and the DH mushrooms tested. The ones you have on there seem to survive hitting the deck prettey well!
Do not under any circumstances fit the old R&G ones where the nylon bungs screwed into the metal cups, as I've seen about 3 crashes now where they've just been torn right out. The Newer R&G ones seem much better designed.

Then again, i binned it 3 times in varying style on the R&Gs without a problem, as have many others. You hear more stories of failures but then again, there's probably 5 times as many R&Gs on SVs as there are any other bung...

I'll almost certainly keep the motrax bungs in there. After all, I don't intend to drop it, so it won't happen
I was impressed by how the R&G bung that took the brunt of the force worked - the whole thing was smashed into the side of the engine, and the frame and engine were badly damaged, but the R&G didn't fall apart and the nylon bung was still firmly attached. But not even R&Gs can save a bike when it hits the dreaded Armco... |

I'm not sure if the design's the same for yours, but for the carbed bike the DHMs are a disaster... The left hand one is just feeble, I reckon you could breakit off with a decent kick!
