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.

thinking of the above (just in case):( any one got them for the 749-999? are r&g the only options?

I'd put a bit of carpet on the sides if I was you Pete:D

It would be a very very slow speed lowside:P
underlay would be better jon:smug:

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:D

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