Does anyone have them and do you need to cut the fairing?

HI scott, seen a set of r&g protectors on a rsv last weekend, they looked pretty good, no mods to bottom sliders but top ones require a 25mm hole through black panels (just behind fans).
I ordered a set a couple of days ago from rsvr.net, hopefully i can fit before first trackday pretty soon.
cheers daz

A pic of the R&G bobbins fitted

I have just fitted a set, when fitting make sure the washers on the top bobbins fit on to the machined spot faces on the engine mount not the cast part or you will not get a tight fit and they could flex and snap off if you drop it.

Taff,
obviusly you fitted them yourself, what did you use to make hole for top fitting, top tips much appreciated
cheers daz

follow the instructions with the bobbins, then open out holes using a dremil, be carefull with this tool they seem to have a mind of there own, also make sure you take the foam padding off behind.

By Taffrsv on Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 02:40 pm:

Scottaride,

I'm using the Motrax Top Blocks. Solid piece of kit (if not the cheapest) and were dead easy to fit. They only do the lowers and require no modifications.

I can't reccommend the R&G ones highly enough personally.  

By Boosta on Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 09:21 am:

R&G ones work a treat, pics will foillow
