Bike TLC

Hi.

I had a crash on my bike last year and have been slowly doing it back up to how it was. Triumph Daytona 600, 2004. So far I got the union jack nosecone to replace the broken one from the crash, and got a new footpeg and hanger for 10 pounds. Going to spray them so that they match in colour again.

Olnly problem that remains is the fact that the crash bungs were pushed back and cracked the lower lhs fairing. I managed to streighten out the bar that the bungs fit too, but the bungs themselves are scraped up.

I have been looking into getting new bungs but am not quite sure how crash bungs work. Sounds stupid i know but do i have to buy bungs that are specific to the subframe that they bolt to, or are the bungs themselves fairly universal. I would rather buy just new bungs becuase the holes in the fairing are already made for them so I dont want to get a new frame that might put them in a different place.

Just need new bungs. I know i will have to replace the lot sooner or late but not at the moment. Basic question is are bungs universal or do certain differing manufacturers use different connectors?

Thanks

Buy crash bungs bolted directly to the frame/engine mounts using 10mm diameter bolts. Don't buy those held on with 8mm bolts and thin brackets. If you have to have brackets make sure they're substantial. R&G are the best;

Heres a pic of my Blade trackbike. Look at the R&G(turned 180 in pic). Only damage to engine is the alternator casing.

You can see the R&Gs sticking out on this piccy. I also now have mushrooms on my front wheel spindle, to hopefully protect my radiator?

Thanks. Good looking stuff.

I will have a look for some that go into the frame or something. The ones on the bike now were on it when i got it and to be honest dont look like they have saved too much although to be fair was side swiped by a car lol.

I think i will just take them off for now. as for the holes already in the fairing i think i shall just try and fill them with something. There is a crack along the fairing so i think i am just going to try a soldering iron technique i saw on the internet, and as for paining over luckily it is where the decals go on the race replica version of the bike so i will just pain it black (cant go tooo wrong there.... hopefuly) and put the vinlys on. Just the ones that are on the race replica anyway rather than anything silly.

Cheers.
