crash protector advice needed- 94 triple

[johnnycactus]

anyone out there got any crash protectors/bungs/bobbins/mushrooms whatever you want to call'em on a early 90s trip?

Since stripping down the d900 to a speed triple, i'm looking at getting some frame protectors.
with r&g doing some at around the 50 quid mark, and ebay listing some at 9.99 it appears theres a large range avaliable.

common sense tells me go with good brand (big price!) but

how good are they!!!???

heard stories of how well they protect casings etc in a load speed tumble, also heard that they can knacker a frame in a good smash!

can anyone share some wisdom!?

cheers all!

I have just fitted rear engine protectors to my 98, the front protectors would not fit because of the radiator hoses, The R&G protectors are from what I have read and the advice given by "racers" are the best, the double hard protectors are liable to shatter, R&G's are pricey but are a lot cheaper than having to replace just one of the casings, my S3 fell off the side stand this morning (my fault for standing it on a bit of a camber while I fastened my lid) and the protector did its job, it fell on the can side and no damage at all, well worth the money mate.

Be careful of what you order, give R&G a ring and before you buy question the info as I was sent the wrong ones, even tho they were marked up for my model they would not fit.

in a good smash I would imagine they could bend the mounting lug, but it'd have to be a pretty substantial smash for that to happen.

best of luck
