crash / mushroom things

yusaf1 · 11-03-2005, 05:52 PM

what are the best type of mushroom / crash protectors to fit . I have read that there is a type that go through the frame, not too sure what and where they may be found.

i use r&g

after my slipperdy slide in 2003 the shroom was crushed but the frame and surrounding areas were A-OK. I was generally quite relieved and coupled with the discovery of my fully functioning sets of arms and legs quite perplexed.

Despite the woe I can now say (with hand on heart) that I have completed the only real life consumer test of duty and I am free of uncertainty.

most commercial outlets stock em, just have a look next time you have half an hour and far too much wonga. Needless to say I now just use the force.

R & G - the one that use a replacement engine bolt all the way through.

Dont bother anywhere else, like forks etc

I have to say I Have Crashed with MOCO mushrooms on and thay are rubish and DH mushrooms are rubish But the R&G ones are good as thay are a bit longer and well made {all of them fix through the frame} on monsters.

I have the R&G ones. They are, as yet, untested - but they look good (if bolting 2 chunks of rubber to your bike can look "good") and I've heard nothing but good things about them.

Thanks , so r+g it is by popular recommendation.

So where do I get some? I can't seem to find any.

I fitted cycle cat sliders to mine. Stuart (Spareshack) binned his S4 with a set on and it saved a fortune on repairs. I think it slid for about 50 feet on its side, and the only damage was a broken clip-on and rearset peg, with the bung worn most of the way down.

The sliders may cost nearly Â£100 a set, but when a new S4 tank costs the best part of a grand Stuart thought it was a good investment, and was a good enough recommendation for me. As you can see from the website, they saved a stateside monster from serious trackday damage after an 80mph highside as well
