Copies of the Yamaha crash mushrooms: group buy?

You really really do not want to be mounting crash protection, where the part can't transfer any force of an accident into the frame. The yamaha crash kit did its job in 2 ways, the base plate bent talking the initial impact which then allowed the nylon bobbin to do it job as the bike slide down the road.

However I also had sliders mounted to the forks and swingarm which are direct-mount and them did there job of protecting those two parts of the bike.

Many thanks for your efforts anyway in trying to get these sorted.

I haven't given up, I am still going to try and find a way to make this kit.

• The first task I now think is to find some hollow 1080 round steel bar of the right diameter and cut it to length  - this will replace the spacer inside the bobbin.
  
• Then I will find someone or somewhere that cane laser cut 10mm Aluminum into the shape we need
  
• Then find some nylon bar odd the right outer diameter and just cut that to length and drill the main and counter sunk holes.
  
• Then just find some Cheap Stainless steel bolts for the bobbin and frame mounts.
