I saw a cbr the same as mine at AMPS yesterday with Oggy Nobbs that didn't require the fairings to be cut; so i did a search and found this crowd (old@ventura-bike.com) selling them; two emails later...

1.> >> Hi,

> >> i have a cbr600rr 2005 model and note that your oggy Nobbs don't require the fairings to be cut. Can you tell me if you have a retailer in NZ ( Auckland ) and how much the oggy nobbs cost

Many thanks in advance

Yeh that's pretty mad... I was looking at getting a set for my bike, but one side is open, the other needs to be cut.

But the oggy's may keep bike rideable...........then you would argue about the total loss value.....gotta be worth it.....I mean today my bike got reversed into...now I was lucky but if the oggy knobs had been used it would have saved heaps and I reckon I could still have ridden the bike home....this time it was the bar ends and the hero knobs that saved the bike leaving the oggy's untouched................

I reckon its either speak with Affman or KiwiFruit and get some made up or go without. It seems like most of the scousers are over this side of the world.. robbin bastards.

There is a guy who makes them on trade-me, makes for quite a few models. I bought a left hand one of him (with bracket so I didn't have to cut the fairing) for about $80. Does complete sets as well. I'll see if I can track him down.

Edit - can't remember if this is the guy (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Parts-accessories/Frames-bodywork/auction-83843306.htm), but he makes all of his own and if you send him the design he can make them up for you.

Well I would have thought so, since the old ones snapped like twigs (cue CSIesque reinactment). The non-cuts go through the fairing screw hole (duh), but the cutting ones usually go through the engine mount. I know what I'm getting once I get my shit together. Also, there's a thread on this argument I thunk.

And I believe you were one of the first tastes by the Jennian Jandal Taniwha. Now it has an appetite for Hondas. Care to fit the cutting ones and try for round 2? :innocent:

The ones i've seen have a metal bracket that reach behind teh fairing and secure to the frame, i'd struggle to trust something that attached to the fairing bracket :dodge:

I spoke with the guys at Colemans a while back. Some bikes can get oggy knob frames that allow the knobs to be fitted without the need to cut the farinings at all. may pay to see if this can be done for your bike. They are obviously more expensive for the extra metal though.

NO!!....this guy is using Acetal for his sliders. A far from ideal material that is likely to shatter or chip.
If you are going to bother either buying or manufacturing frame sliders use what the pro's use et al ] specially modified Nylon 66 [Nylotrol]. Trust SPB the Toolmaker, this stuff is the ducks guts. Skateboard wheels are a grade of polyurethane; another less than ideal material.

This knobb was attached through a hole drilled into the fairing. You can't see the hole behind the knobb, so it doesn't matter. The knobbs took all the damage at my off at Taupo last KB track day. The damage you can see on the fairing was done by the horn coming off.

One other important point in regards to Delrin/Acetal sliders.
Should it through whatever means catch alight [easy to acheive!] this material gives off large quantities of Formaldehyde (http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/mhmi/mmg111.html) gas a pungent and highly dangerous poison.
Not good. SPB sez do not use.

Hmmm, so I shouldn't put a lighter up to it and test it then?

That is an acceptable test to check. The material will light with little effort and will take 15-30 seconds before you can be sure of its pungency. If it just smells hot or mildly unpleasant it is not Delrin/Acetal. Use water to ensure the shed/bike/kitchen does not burn down. :sunny:

Interesting....

I don't think it would make too much difference on my bike at the sort of speeds I typically do - they're fitted more to protect the frame corners from a direct impact and a short slide rather than any majors.

I might upgrade them to Nylon 66 when I get the chance.

A good point El Dopa. Frame sliders for most protect in minor incident accidents mainly garage drops, low speed slides etc.

A better compromise on a cost performance basis would be UHMWPE [Ultra High Molecular weight Polyethylene] rather than Delrin/Acetal.

Wifey and myself both have K6 750s, I got some Motovation crash bungs ( the yanks call them "frame sliders") in from the states. I highly recommend them, a great crowd to deal with, and we had them in about 10 days after ordering, and that was at Christmas time. They are no-cut ones, with a beaut bracket for the left hand side bung

I'd certainly give F1 a call... but I've heard bad things about the ones that have that mounting bracket so you don't cut the fairings.

Just how strong is the bracket? I'm thinking that with 170-200kgs of bike comes down on it in a crash it's just gonna bend right? so why waste the money?

Might just cut the fairings instead... in which case there are two options yeh? One is to cut a hole for the bolt to go through? and the other is to cut a semi-circle (on mine) to mount it within the fairings itself.

Which way would be best?
