Finally got round to ordering my crash bungs today. Used my local bike shop - John Carr. Bought: R&G Aero crash bungs R&G Bar ends R&G front fork protectors R&G offset rear cotton reels. Total price £150.
Thats you busy Saturday then Steve. I like the Aero's but they don't make them for the RR5 the normal ones look ok though. Good luck with the drilling mate?
Yes the R&G site has Aero's from 06 onwards and the fairing is different, I asked the Honda dealer who confirmed same? RR7 can have the Aero option its only the RR4 & 5 unfortunately.
Its easier than you think Steve did you see my previous post to this regard, how to mark the fairing etc?
hmmm im not convinced with that idea. my abilities would be put to the test i think. then id end up having to get some pikey chinese fairings to replace the pretty repsol one i massacred. any chance of pics as you go along?
as i have not got my crash bungs yet, i thought i would have a dry run. Got the belly pan off no probs. I think it is possible to remove the engine bolts without totally removing the side fairings. I can get my socket and wrench onto the bolts just by removing the small chrome fairing bolt and flexing the fairing out. I will let you know if it works when the parts come
Fitted the crash bungs and bar ends. Still waiting to the other stuff to come. Simple job! Remove lower fairing. Remove small bolt in side fairing. Pull side fairing away to give access to engine bolt. Remove engine bolt. Screw pointed bolt in place of engine bolt. Tap outside of fairing with hammer to produce mark in fairing. Drill small hole to check it is in line with the pointed bolt. Remove pointed bolt and drill with hole saw. Fit crash bung and torque up Fit cap Re fit lower fairing
