Personally I wouldn't touch crash bungs on a Ducati, all the ones I have seen bolt to an engine mount, and if you have a big spill it splits the frame, which is going to cost you far more than some pattern bodywork.
I've seen a few bikes suffer the same fate first hand.... new frames needed

Fair comment - I wasn't worried about the bodywork though, because that was the point of getting a cheap trackday fairing. I was more concrned about the clutch and I'd say I was lucky the bungs saved my clutch.
Speedymoto have just brought out their own bungs. Much the same as the R&G but with a twist. Two types of bung are available. The usual, big ones that need the fairing drilling but them a smaller flatter mushroom that sits behind the fairing. Yes, you will do the fairings but the cases, clutch etc. still get protection.
My only slant on the R&G bungs is that they rely on the bolt to mount the bung and i've seen these snap. That goes and so does the bung. The Speedymoto ones use a short bolt and the bobbin sleeves over the mount, so the plastic stays in place and takes the wear.
