[workshop2]

Hello, I am new to this forum and also biking (my CMX500 is my first bike).

I am terrified at the thought of dropping my bike - something people tend to remind me WILL happen.

I have been looking around for crash bungs...something I have found extremely hard. I have found the following and was wondering if anyone has tried them or had experience with this type of engine guard?

Any help is greatly received.

Welcome Workshop2
As this is your first post I have moved it to the Members introduction.

Those sliders I have been interested in myself & have seen them on several Rebels.
Alternatively, you could fit the H2C or other brand of crash bars.

Ive fitted H2C (The Honda Genuine option) to my partners Rebel for protection in a drop. Fit well and look good.

Welcome to the forum

I ordered these from thailand, because i like the look of "real" crash bars and want to add highway-footpegs to them. Also the price is good and you get some (maybe not so good quality) extras.

I hope i will receive them, there has been some customers who didnt get anything oder wrong items and the shipping number doesnt do anything...we will see.

Thanks all.

I didn't want to fit anything bulky to my bike. I might look into getting the plugs once paid (xmas hurt the bank balance).

Krad,

The crash bars with the leather accessories look like a good setup for stash and to keep the wind off the riders legs when it is cold....

Maybe it's just an error in translation but it says the material is "Plastic". Hopefully that is not correct!

 

[SamusAranX]

These are an option. I got them for christmas and put them on my bike recently. They look good.

One issue I noticed was that the bolt was just barely long enough on the left side of the bike's frame (because of the horn mount).

Im hoping that too, but there are crash bars which look exactly like the one i ordered, just without the extra stuff and there it says "Steel". Even from china i would not expect crash bars made from plastic but who knows? :surprise:

 

[Kradmelder]

So, got them yesterday! It took ca. 14 days to arrive from thailand, not bad i think. The package was relatevly well packed and everything was ok. Paid ca. 185 Euro.

The bars are not the best quality, there are some mistakes and the welding doesnt seem very well done. See photos. But its not THAT bad.

In addition i got a very bright flashlight (ultrafire, seems to be good quality), two extra lights (wont use them) and a strange pipe with a paper sample, i assume you should put there a copy of your license or some cash, but im not sure.

Installing it was not that easy, because there is no instruction and the fitment is not the very best. I managed it somehow but im not really sure, wether i did it like it is supposed to be, but now its strong added.

I took some photos with my mobile, i hope you can see enough...

Somehow i cant upload pictures at the moment...=(

Do you have pictures of your bike fitted with them? Do they feel strong enough that they won't break if the bike were to fall over?

Alternative Crash Bar with tie-bar between

I was concern as well with how well stand-alone crash bars would work.

I did choose one, with a tie-bar, from H2C via ebay.


Here is a model that I selected.

Kradmelder,

Who is the manufacturer of the saddle bag shown on this picture?

Kenny G

 

[Kradmelder]

Kenny, the company is craftride, the bags are well-made and affordable, because its not real leather.

My bag is 15 liters and its a little too big to match perfectly between the suspension and indicators...
