Crash knobs...

[Dakara]

Where's the best/cheapest place to get these done?

Was quoted around $700 (including installation) for some Oggy's on my new CBR (non cutting) but hoping I can reduce that somewhat....

Yea same as 07, although the claim to need to remove the whole fairing to put them on... I may wait till I get the bike too see exactly whats involved.

[bully]

so the knobs are about 400, for my bike anyway its 07 no cut type and they want 300 to fit them, it should only take about a hour, 300p/h your getting ripped, buy them your self, oggy are probley the dearest, probley one of the better brand tho.
then put them on your self, its not hard.

Try R&G http://www.rg-racing.com/

I bought a set for my SV650 a few years ago direct from R&G over the interweb. Can't remember exact price but it came in cheaper than Oggy knobs bought locally.

Motovation crash bungs would be worth a look. google "Motovation frame sliders" and you'll find them. We've got them on our sem fiddys, the no-cut version, they are a quality made piece of kit, and Motovation themselves are great to deal with

[Dakara]

Cheers for the info guys. Yea was quoted $580 just for the knobs so will definitely look into those posted above!

[Pussy]

Hey Dakara... www.motovationusa.com
No cut crash bungs for 07-08 CBR600RR, part # FSH16S, US$145.99, be about US$30.00 to get them here. They are a very good piece of kit

I'll got RG Racing knobs on my bike - looks good but had to drill a hole in the fairings. Took a lot of courage and balls to drill the holes.

Which I wont be doing on my brand new CBR! The ones on ebay seem to the go...

[SixPackBack]

Whatever you buy I can confirm material costs for an average set of knobs are approx. NZD50.

700....WTF?????

[CookMySock]

trademe ? 50 bucks ?

[Dakara]

Yea problem with Trademe is their a few years behind. Need em for an 07/08 CBR.

[munterk6]

$700??????? I paid $100 for the knobs for the K6, fitted them myself in 15mins. That price is outrageous!:nono:

[lemining]

I was wondering if anyone has any fedback about frame sliders. I can get those $50 on trademe for my bike, but apparently as per one of KB members:

...Don't get cheap ones, they are likely to bite into the tarmac and flip your bike or snap off bits of the frame / engine....

What do u guys think of it?

I think the ones on trademe are alloy whether other are rubber. Alloy is pretty soft i would say.

I think the chrome or carbon looking knobs are just for the looks on the outside while the inside is still made of the black delrin (plastic).

I bought the cheap crash knobs off ebay for the old 929 for cheap but I did not use the bolts that came with it. I bought some better bolts from a hardware shop (at least that is what I was told by the bolt shop). I have seen some of the cheap bolts snap off in the event of a slide while the better bolts should just bend protecting the fairing..

Those $50 from trademe arent plastic i dont think. It says "CNC Machined and polished Aluminium", thats my point, which one are better plastic or aluminium?
Would the aluminium dig into the road while plastic wont? :mellow:

Hmmm...I stand corrected then. I know the delrin will just shave off. I hope the frame sliders will not dig into ground because that may just cause the bike to flip. Sorry not much help here...perhaps someone else can give you a more difinite answer.

Good question....

[Squiggles]

Dont buy too cheap, you want them to grind down if they hit tarmac, not dig in and snap off (cheap bolts/poor mounting) or flip the bike

I think i will give those $50 dollar ones a chance, since im broke atm and any protection is better than nothing, however, i'll get better bolts.
I'll let you guys know how good they are (quality wise - im not going to drop my bike on purpose to see :msn-wink:), i will probably be getting them some time next week. (my bike is at panel beaters now). :clap:

Be careful substituting different spec bolts. The sliders, bolts and mounts have to work together to hold the bike up and wash off speed. If the bolts are too stiff then the mounts will have to absorb more energy - perhaps more than they were designed to handle.

You could always nick them off some kids skateboard :innocent:

This has been discussed a few times now........PLASTIC:

Acetyl-An engineering plastic well suited for the role of crash bung, However the material is a little brittle and of more concern is the danger of spontaneous combustion and the consequent release of formaldehyde.
Urethane-The material used for skateboard wheels. This material is to soft, a real danger of the bung ripping through the holding bolt exists.
Nylon-The mother lode. [Nylotron, or Nylon 6] Available from Engineering plastics or Ludowici.

Yup. Glass filled if you can get it, very usefull material for high local load applications.

If you know so much then au, how bout you whip me up a set and see how well they hold up :p

[trumpy]

Got mine from Rapidart in Hamilton. When the time came they did their job well (the right hand side anyway). Partly ground away and about a 5 degree bend in the bolt but no frame damage and kept the radiator clear of the ground so dirt cheap at $150.

[boostin]

SPB sorted me out with some Nylotrol or some such thing. Whipped myself up some nice cheap bungs that work a treat. They are in my attachments, not sure how to put in here

edit - Here is a link to another thread with pics of the ones I made.

I just put some on the GSXR and I thought I was getting ripped off at $150 for some NZ made ones. I put some on an '02 Blade a few years ago and they cost ~$130 (Oggy Knobs).

BTW Putting non-cut ones on is VERY easy.

[southernmike]

Have a look here for some:

RRP $230

I used these on my Hornet. Didn't give them the acid test but last time I saw the bike they still looked good...
