got a 996,having it sprayed black,was thinking about fitting some crash bungs but i havent seen many or any even on any bikes...would it be sacrilage?if anyones got any pics it might help...ta
Watch for the ones that bolt to the frame rails. The best, and safest ones are those that replace the forward engine mounting bolt. The ones that fit on the frame spars can/will bend the frame if it goes down hard. Whichever ones you fit, you'll need to cut the fairing to.
I've been thinking about this for a LONG time now - sort of wondering if its really worth it.
1 - certain one's can actually bend your frame, causing more damage than they're supposed to prevent.
2 - You can pick up a used GRP race fairing for less than the cost of the bungs - and if you crash, just patch it up again. Where'as if you use the bungs - there will ALWAYS still be some damage to the fairing in a crash anyway.
Sort of thinking that it spending money for the sake of it.
Having said that - I've fitted some crash bungs at the bottom of my fork legs, as the fork bottom's aren't as cheap to replace as a bit of fiber-glass - and the kit only cost about £20.
