Crash Bungs

t965m · 27 Apr 09, 07:24 PM

Now I have my Hyper I need to fit some crash bungs, just in case - so, which ones are recommended and actually work if needed, not just look the part.

Well chuffed with the bike but still getting to know it so not thrashed it too much...yet

I've got it booked into Ducati Glasgow for it's 24 month service and belts even though it has done less than 3k. Better safe than sorry I guess.

It will be ridden all year so any recommendations to help me protect it as best as possible?

R&G are pretty good and readily available.

There was a test in one of the bike mags a few months back - R & G came out tops....

I have r and g fitted but not tested them yet. :-) .I have only fitted fork and swing arm protectors though..

What do the swing arm protectors look like when fitted? Assume its through the rear wheel spindle?

Yep rear are through the spindle, look like a pair of thread bobbins.
I have the R&G on front, frame and rear.

Hi There

I have the R&Gs Fitted Did a good job when I went offroading in Italy into a grass banking those and the metal hand guards saved me from a broken hand and a damaged knee.
bike was fine.

a lesson learned never wheelie down hill into a hairpin bend..

Has anyone fitted the Evotech or Speedymoto crash bungs? If so, what are your thoughts?

grumpyone · 15 Jun 09, 09:38 PM

Well it would seem that i did not learn my lesson.
just been to Italy again.

and went off into a drainage ditch.

R&Gs worked again only bent the gear lever and rear brake lever.

And my ribs LOL
