Crash Bungs

[odbguy]

Going to treat myself to a pair on pay day, looking on fleabay and the price varies anywhere from £30 - £80 ...
Besides the more expensive ones looking abit nicer is there really much difference?
They seem to bolt onto the frame the same way.
Wouldn't one at 30 quid be just as strong and good as the next at £60.
I could see the more expensive ones maybe been a tad more durable if they come into use. .. but it's not like your going to use them again after they have been used ..

Go for the quality ones like R&G. The bolts are designed to bend and absorb some of the impact, rather than snapping like some of the cheaper alternatives.


I've had R&G crash bungs fitted to my GSX-R1000 race bike and they did a fantastic job of protecting the bike in crashes..
