Crash Bungs

[Redruth]

With winter riding in mind, and a trackday booked for 5th December at Donington with Minnie, I am considering taking the precaution of having crash bungs fitted.

I was going to go for the bar ends and main frame ones. Graham at GLF can get them for me but does anyone know of any bargain outlet places for these?

And does anyone use front fork bungs and if so have they proved worthwhile?

Ruth,

I was with Alan Shirley at the weekend and he was talking about the ones that fit into the bottom of the fork legs too. Seems like they might be worth consideration.

Thanks for that Keith :o:o

Basically, Minnie's in shock having been out a number of times now and not been cleaned the moment she got home, or at all in fact. She's been thrown on her side by a novice rider and now she'll see I'm fitting crash bungs. She's heading for a nervous breakdown, would be my guess. Just about to commute to college on her too. so she'll be getting wet and mucky again today. :D

Charlotte, you have U2U now. Didn't know your address had changed :roll::roll:

Lee, thanks for the picture. Your bike looks very clean and I like the mudguard.

i was advised by john hackett not to fit the frame ones as they can do more harm than good. i know other say otherwise.

so i didnt fit them on my DD bike but i do have fork ones one there.

Yeah I think at high speed they will do frame damage got mine mainly for those low speed slids in the wet :o:o

Though if you look at the R&g ones the bolt for bung to attatch to machined ends is very short so in a high speed crash i would imagine it would shear off:D:D
