Save me a couple of quid please.
« on: July 26, 2010, 07:19:22 PM »
Does anyone here know where I can get the cheapest R&G aero crash bungs for my K7 thou?

The best I have seen so far is £62 delivered.

Before anyone starts rattling on about the cost of new fairings against the cost of crash bungs, I'm getting some anyway, just wondered if I can save a couple of quid.

Cheers all :thumbsup:

Dont use them . get good engine cases and pass on the R&G's ... bikes slide perfectly well on their sides the R&G's help it dig in....

nope dont agree with ppl when they say not to use them in most cases your bike will slide them if it digs in its just unlucky, its no different from rd to track as ive proven already, and hopefully ill never have the case of my bike flipping over, i tell you one the best things i found was race rearsets espec at croft when i low sided racing, the solid peg helped lift the bike up and slid on it and the r&g bobbin, the damage only the peg and rear brake lever was damaged £60 sorted that out ready for next race :) so def buy some mate along with casing protectors ;)
