Hi guys im looking into buying frame bobbins and wondering whats peoples opinions whether there a good or bad idea. I know if a slide happens they could protect but if they dug into the ground theres a possibility of flipping the bike. Would you fit them or not

[MontyD]

Fitted on mine .... had a minor slide across the track and only a small fairing scuff as the bobbin saved it.   I would always fit em personally.

Crash bungs can and sometimes do dig in to the ground in a crash, but how is that any different to a footpeg or engine case digging in? There's no telling what might happen once a crash takes place.

I have crash bungs fitted to my current bike, and have had them on previous bikes and they have served their purpose, saving hundreds, if not thousands of pounds worth of damage. They're not a perfect solution, but they can be worth having.

Never used them before but I do have them on my new 10 tho.

I suppose in the event of an accident you gotra hope fof the best an hope they do the job. I will look into getting a decent set

[MontyD]

Deffo get engine protection, I have an NRC on my 6 which saved me any issues in an off at the Donny esses ..... also got protection on my 10 after grinding one of the cases in a tiny off on the Rockingham hairpin.

How good are them nrc cases? Can they actually crack?

[MontyD]

Not heard bad things.....mine hit the deck hard after a big stoppie at about 30 ish mph, came down sideways and slid the full width of Donny onto the grass, small graze is all it suffered.

I have just ordered the GB Racing covers for mine.

[MontyD]

Me too for my 2012 zx6

I've got the GBRacing covers on mine. I had bobbins in my ZX6R. The broke the rear off my engine case at Mallory. Mind you it did clear the catch fence at the lake esses in

[seddo]

Any damage on my bike an id be crying. Ive just got some gsg bobbins for me bike so I hope they do the job if it ever comes to it

[Shongololo]

proof they work

[Shongololo]

if you zoom in you can see the damage...how little there was

[seddo]

Looks like a good buy. I feel better now they will be fitted. Looks a nasty crash on that pic
