R&G Crash Protection – Minimising Motorcycle Mutilation and Mishaps
We all have different reasons for riding motorbikes, whether its commuting or as a pleasurable sunny Sunday activity. If we wanted A to B transportation, we’d use a car. Our bikes are our pride and joy and if any harm comes to them we are very upset to say the least. R&G protection aims to minimise damage done to your bike should the worst happen, whether this is a massive high side or an unfortunate drop.
How does it work?
R&G crash protectors work by fitting to a secure mounting point on your bike. The crash protectors take the brunt of the impact rather than your bike. This can save your engine from hitting the floor as well as damage caused to plastics and other cosmetic items. On many bikes, these crash protectors will fit to points on the frame and are easy to fit.
Some assembly required…
Some require some more intense surgery to fit these protectors such as drilling into the fairing. This is a measure only taken on some motorcycles such as the Ducati 1198S where much of the frame is covered by a large fairing. This may seem scary to carry out but put it this way; the price of your crash protectors is significantly less that the price of new fairings and other items for your bike. This service can be carried out by our experienced and professional workshop technicians at Two Wheel Centre if you feel that this is something you would not want to do yourself. You can set up this using our Online Parts Service on our website.
What a drag!
You may be concerned about the effects that these protectors have on wind resistance and overall speed. R&G have designed the Aero style crash protectors to be as aerodynamic as your machine. These sweeping aerodynamic crash protectors are the market leaders in motorcycle crash protection and are the only insurance approved crash protectors on the market.
Don’t just take our word for it
The crash protectors supplied by R&G are used by many people who frequent track days and other high-speed riding events. A testimonial on R&G’s website details how the R&G crash protectors made sure that “the damage sustained to the bike is minimal.” After an almost 100mph high side on his Yamaha YZF-R6, one R&G user was thrown from his bike and feared the worst. You can read the rest of the testimony on R&G’s website.
