I personally dont like bungs I have seen to many twisted engine cradles and broken engine mounts because of them. I can vouch for the big wrap around bars and how well they work. As for the little Wemoto bars they are only good for a very low speed off and not much more.

Hey Punkstig......any more thoughts on this Punk-bellied-pan????....sounds interesting likes.
 
I've got some Renntec big bars from Apage and im just putting on coat after coat of paint then i'll get them fitted....the pressure pad at the rear frame at first glance worried me a little, i just thought mmm i dunno if i want too much pressure on that part and on the hangers but after more thought it is a good thing, it spreads out the pressure plus if the hanger snaps off then it has taken allot of the impact energy and can be replaced.
i might look at some kind of gasket or bit of rubber to stick on the plate though to limit damage to the frame.
 
Plus the good thing is that the 2 halves join together at the front....male to female creating a strong point so i think they look sound.
 
I would also like a small black belly pan but im not sure it will fit from standard with these crash bars in place.
 
anyone fitted rentec bars plus a belly pan...any pics?????
 
cheers

I've had to put this on the back burner- just forked out £550 on suspension front and back!
