    Looking for some crash bungs for my 06 daytona 675 and came across these on eBay:

    Does anyone have any experience with these? Do they look decent enough to you? I'm assuming no drilling is required to fit these...

    iirc Craig has them, I may be wrong.
    Personally I'd go with the GB Racing ones. But that's me, I'd like them all to match, engine cases etc.

    They look nice. Looks different to majority I've seen. I wouldn't like to answer if it needs to be drilled asbo don't know the answer and from a quick look it seems like maybe they don't :)
    I made the mistake of getting the drilled fairing ones what a massive mistake!

    I had those on the new bike. Took them off cause mine stuck out so far they looked like wings.

    I have had the Puig's on my bike. Not the same mushroom shape (mine are first generation)
    The ones that Craig had fitted were the Puig Professional ones, different again.

    Mine have protected well so far, although the R/H one did bend alarmingly during a tactical dismount last year. To be fair though, she did go down very hard & at a good old lick.

    Having now studied the design & materials used by the various manufacturers of these, I have come to the conclusion that the GB ones are indeed the best. I have now changed to those myself. (Anyone want some Puig frame sliders with "fashionable distress" marks.??)

    One of my mates had some cheap no brand mushrooms on his gsxr. When he came off they did nothing for his bike at all. In fact they probably made his bike worse as the engine mount bolt twisted and became stuck.

    He ended up trading it in for an R6 in the end rather than fixing it

    ^^^I honestly think that a wise decision.

    Anyway when they put pics on their site of the product on a H*nda, it's a bit hard to tell where exactly they fit.
