All Motorbikes Should Have Crash Bungs Fitted

This is think is a bit of a no brainer for most bikers. We believe that at one time of another we have all had damage to a bike that may have been in the form of a crash or just one of the terrible moments when the bike falls over from the stand or because you just lose your balance.

Buying a set of crash bungs will generally set you back about £100 and it is one of those situations where many just say to themselves I don’t need these – that is until they do!! The. It is too late and you have just lost hundreds of pounds if not your bike! In my instance I was riding on a day when I shouldn’t have been really as there was ice around but I could not help myself with the love of riding. Leaving work and pulling out of the car park the front wheel just went sideways. Whilst the hit on the floor still smashed fairing, but and this is a BIG but there was no damage to the guts of the bike and it was all cosmetic really and I even rode it home. There was lots of work to do after the bike down incident which we cover in the question ‘should you buy a cheap fairing kit off Ebay?‘ post but nothing to do with the engine or heart of the bike.

My Crash Bungs stopped me having any engine damage on my 5mph slip.
