Crash knobs...

[BarBender]

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.

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.

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