CRASH BUNGS
Double hard mushrooms/crashbungs whatever you wanna call em do these at 40 pound i had some fitted last year no need to alter fairings like you do with some.
But i took them off as i didnt like how they stuck out !
I know thats the whole point of them but thats just me i think moko are one of the best but at a price i think you do alter the fairing with these i may be wrong though.

Double hard mushrooms here.
Fitting was a pig though, They require a couple of engine mount bolts to be replaced. No problem there, except one of the hollow Honda ones sheered off , flush to the casing. Some swearing and time got it out though.
Still. Bungs on, look a bit like skateboard trainer wheels sticking out, but hey.. they saved me money when my foot slid out on a soaking a greasy garage forecourt.
Oh, they're black and yellow too, so match the bike

Exactly what put me off some other brands.BazF wrote:Double Hard mushrooms?? Is that the proper name for them and they require no fairing mods You got any pics?
Looked into getting a set of crash bungs a few weeks ago but lost interest as the only ones i could find were the one that required the faring to be drilled.
cheers

These fit with no mods, just by swapping 2 engine mount bolts.

Another consideration is how tall are you?
I'm 6'3" but don't have particularly long legs yet when I rode my mates Storm with DHM/ Motrax ones fitted I kept clouting my knees as I moved around on the bike
I got some from Rhencullen which mount a bit further forward and don't required the fairing to be drilled either. Mind you they are in the £90 price bracket so that too may be a consideration

The bobbins that ad talks about are the little ones that go on the swingarm to make lining the stand up easier -they are NOT the crash bungs being talked about
You can fit bobbins to the storm if you are prepared to either
1) Get a mount welded to the underside of the swingarm
or
2) Drill and tap a hole in the arm of the swingarm

Had the same thing happen to me with the same bungs fitted and they did bugger all. I was just moving off and sliped and the bike dropped, the bracket where it bolts to the frame was totally bent and a nasty crack down my fairing.trebs wrote:Double hard mushrooms here.
