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. |

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

Saw them fitted (pic), didn't look like much hassle. Last edited by dyzio; 20-03-09 at 11:47 AM. |

Motosliders do them for fully faired bikes now.
