I've never understood why people put those silly little 'crash' bungs on their fairing.

in my experience dropped usually means anything up to around 20mph.

the guy isn't lying, he's just bending the truth to get a good sale.
He's not going to say "Crashed it heavily on the left side, its scraped to f*ck, but otherwise the bike is okay"

is he? Smile

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

I can understand the frame mounted ones that stick out further than the fairing, but that one from the picture above seems to be flush with the fairing, there's no point in that.

Well the bike might well be in "really good condition" and it has been dropped on the right hand side. He is showing you a photo anyway so it hardly matters!

It would have stuck out before that. However unless they're mounted on the frame, that happens. Just being mounted on a fairing bracket means that it hasn't got nearly enough strength to hold the weight of the bike and nine times out of ten will do more damage than if it hadn't been there.
