Which rear crash bungs are you talking about?

Thanks again.

Just the Bung king shock mounted ones. It just saves the Road Rage 3 from becoming a paperweight.

And for those asking they make a good highway/forward riding position. You can add some skateboard griptape if you liked.

Definitely good highway positioning for me at least. Tried it today. Very comfortable. As long as its dry and you're running rubber soles on your boots, I don't know if grip tape is needed. Felt pretty good for me today. A little water, and you're probably slipping and sliding though.

Do these stick out further than the footpegs? I do a lot of tight lane splitting, where I am on the right side and running in the gutter so need to watch out for hitting the curbs.

for mine it's about the same (Arlen ness pegs) which are quite wide. I was mindful first time out splitting lanes/curbs but no concerns now. I can also confirm no matter how hard I try to corner I cant get close to scraping it on the ground, Maybe a lack of skill on my behalf lol.

Got mine of a FB user. $100 and haven't needed to test it out, but it worked great so far to stretch my legs out. I dig they way it looks more than the typical mustache bar.

Im worried about the abs harness that runs right at the swingarm and how the bar works with it there. And clearance with my 13.5 and w 2 bros also. Between BK and Speed merchant, have to say replies to stuff have been zero. Depressing.
