My bike naked and wearing a tracksuit

[.....]

Well today my bike got it's track fairings fitted ready for Snetterton on Monday.

Massive thanks to Davo who gave up his Saturday evening to help (when I say help I mean "do" while I try and help) even after spending his day sorting his R6 out

Apologies for the quality of the pics but they are from my phone.

Here she is in her normal clothes

Seat looks comfy!

Davo for the win. And it looks good. Enjoy yourself out on the track.

Looks good. Hell of a hassle for a trackday though. Are you going to do it every time?

Joe, get back, quick! They're planning on raiding your garden

Looks cool, like you said it'll serve the purpose of keeping your road fairings shiney.

Get out there and have a blast!

Looks nice, but shit that seat looks arse crippling
Though I must say I think you should rig it up with lights and paint it green and leave it on with road fairings, its a really nice shape.
Also what phone is that, the pics are good.

looking good joe but you need to paint them at some point green with few decals i think!!

well done to davo, came to the rescue again

Unfortunately R&G's have a habit of mangling their mounting points when they bend back and twist.

There's a lot of talk about design of the actual bung, but at the end of the day the bungs can only protect the area they're situated over.

On some bikes, such as the ZXR400 and Thundercat, an R&G won't do anything to protect the engine.

[Silver]

Half the problem is that some people buy a set of crash bungs and expect them to miracle a magic bubble around the bike when they crash!

"Those crash bungs are shit! I hit an oil tanker head on at 70mph and they did nothing!"

[G]

I've seen cases where the bung bending at low speeds has damaged the fairing. Now maybe it's not as much damage, or maybe you've got to drill a bigger hole, but either way it doesn't seem to great when you consider the cost of the bung.
Also, as I've said, seems that it can damage the threads, especially after repeated crashes.

For protecting the engine a CF engine cover protector seems to do a pretty good job, I'd say.

The bungs on my current race SV (pic here) seem to have done a pretty good job. Ok, they could possibly cause frame damage if they landed on them from a height - but then the frame may well be damaged as well.
They've been solid enough to not damage anything else from a load of low sides.
However a soft enough plastic to deform a littlle and wear away while sliding. Definitely handled themself much, much better than R&Gs on another SV I have.
