I'm fixing up an old mc21, and want to protect my soon to be perfect fairings. Is there a way I can mount oggy knobs to the nsr, or is it more trouble than it's worth?

Bonus question:

I really like the gp tail from tyga, but the girlfriend wants to go along on the back. Is there a different yet eqully good looking seat unit that can take a pillion?

crash bobins wont save your fairings there to save your frame mate as i found out on my 125

maybe not but they will certainly help, as Fontyyy found out when he dropped his RVF.

had it not been for the brash bungs and rearsets the damage would have been much much worse.

Indeed it's true, my RVF slide a good 50 yards and really only required a bar end, mirror, footrest, top panel and a bit of black vinyl to be as good as new. And it was still rideable.
Without them it would have definately needed a seat unit and both mid and lower fairing panel.
So they saved £300+ worth of panels. and that's before you consider if the engine casing would have worn through without the crash bungs or solid footrests thus requiring it to be recovered.

The damage was that light I rode round to Billy's for a tea and to show him, quite something to say it was a 3rd gear lowside on a slippy roundabout.

In careless drops they're superb, I've dropped the diesel at near zero speed (and pushed it off it's paddock stand ) and nothing except the crash bung and wheels touch the floor, without them that's probably a mirror and fairing stay plus maybe a top fairing panel along with a grazed seat panel every time.

But there's no where good to bolt them onto an NSR.

as you say fonyyy they will help at low speed but there is no were to put them on a nsr and i think they look a bit gormless on a street bike

He's damaged a few bikes, has our Fontyyy!

Best you fit crash bungs just in case you ever meet him!

Tis true, it not just yours Andy, Billy's trackbike has been damaged by me moving it too (not that it matters now), it's that high at the back it needs a block of wood under the stand or it takes 2/3rds of the van up, said block of wood moved and the screen broke as it hit the side of the van. Hence my thought bikes are safer strapped up on the righthand side of the van rather than on the sidestand on the left.

I am of course more careful with the RVF's, as you would be

I'm dammed if I could find anywhere to fit bungs when I set mine up for racing. Not without cutting the fairing anyway - which kinda defeats the object.

The engine is certainly slim enough not to get damaged during a crash, and generally there's no sticky out bits to catch and flip the bike, so they just slide on the fairings till they stop. Add some carbon fibre matting to the fattest parts and you'll be fine!

SMALL ! The crash bungs didn't help much then

Now I warned Billy; "be carefull on the exit to the long left complex (at Rockingham), it's off camber and worse so if you run wide and cut back across the track", but no, I don't know anything, I've not done the Rock 1/2 a dozen times, I've not been shown the way round by Andy Ibbott (Thomas Lüthi's coach no less) have I? So why listen to me? Hero boy himself flies past and waves hello from the gravel trap not 15 seconds later.

Carlos Checa would be proud, he really would

At least he didn't do a Pedrosa, and take you with him on the way to the gravel...

Cheers guys. I was just a bit worried about dropping the old girl, especially as I'm sure my new paintjob will attract tarmac like nothing else.
