My S4r is coming in about 2 weeks so plenty of time for those all important bits, practical ones first before the bling

R&G crash bungs seems to be the best and most common, hope they dont do any frame damage but guess if I come off that fast me or the bike will be totalled anyways maybe be the worst thing that can happen is the bung digs in or hits something ? then bends the frame mount

Next a hugger, seen the spareshack 2 piece one very expensive but good coverage. Cant find a pic or price of the Dp one anyone have it? Anyother huggers recommended?

For the front, the rad and oil cooler looks a bit exposed any covers avaliable? was thinking of some mesh for the short term? or maybe a fender exteneder like i had on my hornet?
As the front/plug coil looks a bit exposed , be a problem in the wet?

Thanks in advance guys

Thanks CK can i not buy from R&g direct?

You can get a rad cover from Spareshack, but can't seem to find an oil cooler cover anywhere. Make sure you get a steering damper fitted, you'll need it!!!

[LesPaul]

I have the DP rear hugger fitted to mine, think it looks neater than the QB one but doesn't protect the rear shock as well as it leaves a gap. Have alook at this thread on the USA monster site. I've attatched a picture of the Desmoworld hugger which seems to give the best of both worlds, neat apperance and good protection of the rear shock.

Thanks Darren, I have been lucky and got the 2 piece spareshack/qb carbon one off Gizmo750 (Guy) who is selling his S4r, and his nice pressure plate and cover rather have max protection for the rear.

Got my R&G bungs yesterday dealer had them instock, wow, what a suprise. They look very good big to and strong. How much to torque them up? the theaded bar needs doing and the bungs on the end, or is it just a case of nip up tight any locktite?

[Nattyboy]

Lee..agree with Webby...damper a MUST !! Torque setting a good idea on the R&G's...SPM23's 'R' lost a bung from one side after a trip to bristol bike show last year causing the 'bolt to wiggle out and the engine to drop slightly..

Nat

[Lee1980]

Thanks Natt there there are 2 parts to torque up the ends of the tie bar that replaces the original and the bungs that go on the ends with a bolt, but how much anyone know what the original bolt is done up to?

Or just nip it all tight with thread lock to might be best

Ive used the damper on my 748 a few times so i can see ohow on the s4r its gonna be needed, guess its the wide bars and low gearing to?
