There are some crash bung istalled already but not R&G ones. What gets me worried is what I read up in some horror stories of cheap crash bungs causing more damage then preventing, so might upgrade to some R&G ones for Xmas.
Yeah, the biggest problems with the cheap ones tends to be the bolts used in them. The metal for the bolt has to be hard enough to withstand an impact without excessive bending, but malleable enough to deflect a little without just shearing off!
The cheap ones tend to do just that, the bolt shears off leaving you with no crash protection anyway, and then for added a measure a snapped bolt in your engine mounting point that will require a lot of work to remove & re-thread.
The other thing is the cheaper ones tend to be quite stubby, decent ones stick out further because the bolts can take the increased punishment.
I've never heard a bad word against R&G, I have been using them for 5 years odd now and the quality & service they provide is superb. If you look back at the picture I posted of me on my track
K1 GSX-R, you can see some damage to the rear seat unit. This was from an off at Oulton a few weeks beforehand, left hand side of the bike went down at about 80mph.
The main fairing panel is as it was after the crash, no remedial work done at all! If you look carefully at the "U" of "Suzuki" you can see a small patch scuffed away. That was it, the bung saved the panel, frame, tank, bars & engine case from any damage at all! For an £80 part (well, that's for a pair so £40 I suppose) that's one investment I'm happy to make!
The only downside with crash bungs on track that you'll hear people say is that if the bike slides over the trackside kerb, the bung can catch and cause it to flip, damaging both sides instead of one. This is a possibility, but I'm happy to take the risk for the money saved during the average lowside! On the road they are essential, drop the bike in the garage off a paddock stand and they'll just land on them, leaving no other damage whatsover!
Anyway, I'm rambling on, can you tell I'm a fan?!
One last though, have you checked the suspension settings? If the previous owner has got lost with preload, rebound & compression on both ends it could do nasty things to the handling, check it with the owners manual that it is all on factory settings and then work from there as you get more confident. If you are average size / weight the factory settings are pretty good!
