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.

Na you don't want underlay, its rubber aint it. It will only grip and send you into a very very slow highside, or flop

my mail concern was damage to the tank guys, my rear set did a good job protecting the side but the tank hit home.
