Can Oggy bars be...

[placidfemme]

Hey

I was at the bike shop the other day and I saw a ZX9R with "Oggy Bars" on the side.

Now I'm not sure if Oggy Bars is the actual name or just that particular brand name... But they are those funny bar thingymabobs that stick out on either side of the bike to help prevent damage to the farings and such in the event of a fall/drop...

Would it be possible to instal "Oggy Bars" or the such on a ZXR250C?

I noticed on the ZX9R that the bars were welded (??) attached to the frame of the bike. I looked at my ZXR and me thinks that maybe a hole might need to be cut into the farings to place Oggy Bars...

Does anyone who owns a ZXR have Oggy Bars on their bike? Or does anyone know if ZXR's Can or cannot have them?

Thanks in Advance

Oggy knobs are machined lumps of acetal plastic attached by bolts to the frame or motor, a compenent engineer would have no problem adapting or machining something to suit

Ive got oggi-knobs on my GSX-R600... They crash REAL good!!! Saved my side fairing after sliding along the road for a good 50 metres... pity they couldnt save the rest of the bike when the cartwheeling started...

Oggy is a brand too, among many others. I have bought some generic un-named ones, which should fit most bikes. They bolt onto some part of the frame that sticks out the furthest, so that it'll protect the best in a slide..
I'm getting rid of my ones (bought for $180) for about half that. They don't really work for my bike, so I'm going to buy some specific ones to my bike..
They're also known as [frame] sliders (confused with knee sliders), and crash bungs/knobs

Do you think they caused the cart-wheeling?

Do you think they caused the cart-wheeling?

unlikely. tyres, handlebars, various bodywork bits coming into contact with lumps in the ground, cause cartwheeling, but I'm sure TS can explain that better!!

LOL, nah they didnt... the 100mmx100mm post and bank of clay caused the cartwheels, which caused the majority of the damage... They can be good, and can be bad... If you do crash on them, replace the crash knob affected immediately, as it will be weakend and can do more damage than good in the next crash...

Where can you get them and how much?

I've been wondering about this for a few days, and figured that getting those bars installed would be cheaper than replaing a faring or two... and god knows I'm anal about my bike and got really upset/angry when it fell off the jack and cracked the faring im two places

bike shops, whatcha got? Like I said, my generic ones were about $180. Can buy 'em if you want.. Or you could machine (make) some.. not too hard..

they are fucken expensive for $20 of plastic that could be manufactured in half an hour, but try googling oggy knobs

unfortunately are. But imagine what/how much they're saving in a slide?

I'll make my own like I did on my motard

All ya need is a block of nylon and a chisel

Oggi knobs are very expensive, $220 for mine... but im going for Yoshimura or rg-racing ones next, they are cheaper at $140-$160 and still high quality...
