Great stuff mate glad I could help. Josh is a good dude and one hell of a stunt rider.

And yes they do save the bike! It's paid for itself already for me haha.

I do recommend rear shock crash bungs to save your pipe and rear end.

 

Here's the thing about Fwds. My Lindbar wouldn't work at all, because it only used one bolt (covered the second one). This uses two, so I suppose you could use longer bolts and bolt your fwd's through it. Not sure is the bar itself will interfere, or if the 1/4" thick bracket will extend the fwd controls to far out as to mess with the alignment. Your guess is as good as mine. But with the two bolts it looks possible to use forwards.

Ultracool seems to makes a big difference. I didn't have a temp gauge until after in installed the cooler, but with it I haven't been able to breat 230deg oil temps...

 

I have a Bung King rear bar, but (I'm really not having luck with their products!) it won't fit with my pipe. The FuelMoto angles up a bit too much and it looks like the first bump and the bar will hit the pipe. So that's not an option.

Which rear crash bungs are you talking about?

Thanks again.

 

I hesitate because people seem to get offended easy on even serious questions if they are the ones that have them (or want them)

I'm try to get my head around the "why"? It's not like it was "only $50..so why not?"

Is it for:
Mostly "looks"?
Tip-over protection?
Can you use it as Hwy pegs?

Of course keep in mind (if you can), that I'm coming from a different perspective (like others) of "I would just make them"

 

my response in bold above.

 

Yeah, I had read that, but I was wondering what the general take on it was when it was a specific question.

btw, I wasn't really directing the "taking offense" comment to you, it was more for anyone reading and commenting

 

I had gathered material a few weeks ago to build one. After seen yours I ll get off my A$$ an start building. will do pic along the way. Thanks for your post.

 

Yeah I know. I'm just in a shitbag mood today from work... Sorry.

 

I run the bung king and can say this:

• Tip-Over protection, yes. I've dropped mine twice in my driveway (tall shocks + saddleman + before coffee) and once on an inclined shoulder. No damage to the bike.
• Crash Protection, yes. Lane splitting between a truck and a prius. Prius drifted in his lane and I had to choose which car to hit. Chose the prius and rode away with a bent crashbar. Seen this happen to a buddy as well. In both cases, we were able to say upright and ride on.
• Highway pegs, yes. Put some griptape on the end and your foot will stick to it.
• Looks, I actually hate the look but the functionality of it makes me keep it on.

 

When the bike tips over, where are the contact points? Handlebars, crash bar, & exhaust/primary?
