Just drifting back to the OT... I've been looking for well-priced crash bungs (don't need fancy fixing kits) for a while, both for my naked NC21 and my CBR750... will give Coyotemoto a call, I think.
Thanks for the tip!

I turned up my own crash bungs. I mounted them off the engine mount just forward of your knee. I'm 6' and they don't get in the way when you are knees up in a straight line, or cornering knee down. I could make 8 sets of crash bungs for the same price as those after market suckers.

I could make my own but, not being in that industry any more, I don't have the resources . It baffles me that they cost so much in the first place and that it seems so hard to buy 'plain' ones (without mounting brackets) like I've been trying to do.

Wages, overheads, material cost, marketing, profit margin etc... Some of them have the proprietary name stamped on printed in them. It all costs.

I'm just a simple machinist doing perkies. Only costs me the materials..

I noticed that CoyoteMoto don't list any crash bobbins for the NC35. Does anybody know whether the NC30's will fit?
