| I've got R&G ones on my SL. They didn't fit when I bought them (despite what R&G said at the time) and had to be modified. R&G withdrew the 900SS fitment after my ranting and raving... They're fairly substantial but to poke through the fairing they're quite extended. I'm going to cut down the mounting stud down a little when I put the bike back together. I'm sure they'll work up to a point but eventually they won't...
I crashed from a height before fitting them and it smashed the clutch to pieces, along with the tank, fairing (side and top), bar, footrest etc. I'm sure they wouldn't have saved all the damage but would have reduced it a fair bit.. The biggest saving would have been made through having a billet alloy clutch cover. It would have saved £2-300...
It would be interesting to see some results from the DesmoDue folks who seem to crash more than the average SS rider. I'm sure some of them have crash bungs fitted and others don't. Ali, with or without?
