| I put R&G crash bungs on my 749S for use on trackdays. Had to drill the fairing, but it's a track fairing anyway.
They mount on the engine mounting point, with a sturdy machined alluminium mount that locates in the frame tube and up against the engine. Their longer stainless threaded stud replaces the original engine mounting. It also clamps to the frame immediately behind that engine moutning. They are supposed to spread the load through 8 routes.
Results - I had a lowside at SNetterton with these on, and whilst half the RHS crash bung wore away, it saved the bike. THe only other damage was the ball end on the brake lever, minor scuff to the bar end, wore away most of the adjustable tab on the rear brake lever and scuffed the underside of the flip up footpeg. Didn;t touch the forks or swingarm. It saved the clutch, which was my main reason for fitting them! |
