R & G Crash protectors
 

Just finished fitting r&g crash protector and spindle sliders to front and rear wheels. Was a bit concerned about drilling a 25mm hole in my fairings but it turned out ok. They look ok as well.
This is what you get for visiting the bike show !!!!

Just got it back today after it's 6000 mile sevice not bad as it is only 5 months old and I don't use it for work
Gave it t6he S100 anti corrosion spray goimg over after fitting the protectors, can't be to carefull now the gritters are out!!!!

just can't get my head around drilling a hole in my fairing !!??

:puzzled::puzzled::puzzled:

If you do not want to drill your fairing then nelly at Cornerspeed is doing these Speedy Moto crash bungs, they come in two parts, standard type crash bungs for your track day fairing, ie through the fairing & then take them off, put on the mushroom head & put your road fairing over them, they will not protect your road fairing but will protect your bike if you go down the road, ie clutch housing water pump etc, & no drilling your road fairing.

Chris.

Drilling the fairing is pretty scary, but they do look quite tidy once fitted. Is it gonna be a pain to remove your fairing if you want to clean the bike or do some work?

I like the fork and swingarm protectors though...nice. :D

am I the only person with these fitted on a 749/999 come on let me know if I am the only one or not.

Mark,

I have the front and rear spindle bungs fitted 100% of the time.

I have the fairing crash bungs, but, did not drill my road carbon fairing for the bungs. I leave the large ally bracket in place and only fit the bungs when I put my track day fairing on.

All R&G kit and really rate them. Sure HW will be along soon to agree :D

hi ya all how much did it knock u?looks smart....but i cant get the thought of drillin throu my fairin out my head...sccaaary
:puzzled: did it hurt her much

it was £210 for all the swag, I went mad at the nec, story of my life.

I asked myself long and hard "am i going to fall off?" the answer was always no, but what if i do? hence the spend!!

R&G stuff is not cheap, but, is very good quality and I've seen them after a 50mph lowside and they did help. I'm sure a fast "bin" and nothing is gonna help.

For the spindle bungs they are about £29 list for the front and same for the back. You get quality bungs, ally mounts to go in the spindle and a stainless steel spindle with nylocs etc.

Frame kit includes a new engine mount bolt, all mount bracket that is a top piece of machining work and the bungs .... £175 list.

Sure you could get a deal if you shop around.

I'd be reluctant to drill my road fairing, but, no problem with drilling the track fairing.

If it fell off the stand, or, you dropped it doing a slow "U" turn etc you'd do much more than £200 worth of damage.

khu
is that your 749r in riders shop with "do not sit on sold" if so saw it friday when i picked up mine after 6K service.
ps the drilling did not worry me to much, but ask me later!!

Yep, that'll be mine! Waiting for its new keeper to take it away! Even though it won't be turning a wheel until the spring!

Plenty of time to fit all the goodies I've got lined up! :lol:

i thought i saw that post earlier ????

Does anyone have access to the trade prices, including VAT, of the R * G kit for the Monster 620?

I've just bought the bar ends, Crash and Fork protectors. Prices looked good, I got a discount but then VAT was added. I'm thinking if it's a mistake it's an innocent one but before I say anything, I want to check.

Sorry guys I don't buy into all these crash bungs, not the frame ones anyway, as I have said before might save your bodywork, water pump cover etc, but can split the frame (I've seen it done more than once) fork/spindle protectors fair enough, but the RG ones seem expensive and cumbersome, you need to remove them to get the wheels out??? JHP sell fork protectors for something like £18 for 2 bungs which tap into your existing spindle, and you can still remove your wheel with any other tools, plus I've tested them... worked a treat :)

I tried to check those on JHP's website but couldn't find them.
Anyone has a pic of those?
