One has the bolt supplied by R&G, the other is a random allen bolt...

I messaged the seller.

You do realise they are different on a lot of bikes. I'd say the problem was with the buyer not the seller in this case.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Marjay, you havent said what the problem was.....

Can you elaborate a bit on your very general comment?
Or have you failed to read the entire 1st post?

[MarJay]

[TUG]

Got to admit with marjay, the bung doesn't look cut down so might be made that way to allow for an offset engine in the frame, but the bolts should be exactly the same type but one at a different length to allow for the short collar on one of the bungs.

FFS Marjay, i hate having to repeat myself because people are to fucking lazy to read....

There is something wrong, they are not the correct bungs for my zxr400.....

I bought and fitted a new set a few years ago for the zxr400 L1 i used to own.
I bought this set to put on my current zxr400 L1.

I know what they should look like.
I also know the bolts should both be the same type.

Oh and because you obviously missed it the 1st time around.

Well, they don't look like they've been cut down to me. If the guy bought the bike to break how was he to know that one of the bolts was incorrect? I'm sure I've had a set of R and G bungs where one bolt was a hexagonal bolt head and the other was a hex allen key socket cap.

They look fine to me. I suspect one of the engine mounts on the ZXR400 is wider than the other, and so you put the shorter bung on the wider mount.

I know you said that you bought some years ago and they weren't different, but memory is fallible, and these definitely don't look like they've been cut down. At the end of the day, if you want a guarantee on the quality of some crash bungs, you don't buy them second hand off of ebay. Its almost like buying a secondhand lid IMO.

Problem with buyer, not with seller.

(edit: just looked at your ebay link. 1.) why didn't you just buy it from there, and 2.) often those pictures are representative, and not of the actual set of bungs...)

And here is a pic of the other bung just for marjay.
He obviously thinks he is right, although he is obviously wrong.
