I know some peeps have had bad experiences with them, but I must admit they have saved major damage to my bike twice. So I can't fault them.

I'd had an off at about 60mph, and that only bent the bolt (and the bung), with a little grinding on the tip at approx 45 degrees.

Liam, just a little point you might want to make clear, R&G have different bungs for pointy vs curvy, and even for faired vs bikini/naked. Different designs might hold up differently under stress.

i had an off at about 10 - 15mph lowside, the crash bung bent and ground down but saved everything apart from rear break and lower fairing ( lightly scratched) i would recoment them, they save you a lot of money in an off. i called r and g dirent and they sent me a bung and bolt direct for £35, suzuki wanted £50 for the bung without bolt.

I use a different make that nobody else seems to use and they held up well , won`t touch R&G after some of the things I have heard about them .

I was under the impression that if you're looking for crash bungs, get motosliders.
At least that's what I've read here.

Some of which don't appear to make any sense whatsoever.

Only for Naked bikes, or, you have to cut the fairing for them to fit.

That goes only for fully faired, right?

Saw them fitted (pic), didn't look like much hassle.

Motosliders do them for fully faired bikes now.
