sisu Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Looking at a first big bike (Divi/Fazer type) ... Comparing bikes I have seen quite a few with varying 'protection'. My question is, is there a noticable difference between engine bars and crash bungs. I'm not intending to prang the bike (little bike [YBR] did blow over in the gales!) but curious as to opinions on whether one is noticably better as an option to the other.

Ttaskmaster Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Opinions vary. Crash bungs are more for fully faired sports bike where even an undone button on your underwear can affect wind drag. Engine bars are big with the Cruiser crowd, of course, but many others use them. Some use both. Depending on where you mount them, some people find the crash bungs focus the impact on those small points, which is more likely to cause damage than the impact-spreading engine bars. But really it's more likely down to personal choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarke Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 My previous Fazer had engine guards on it and they didn't look too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
