Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you regarding your crash bungs. When I first brought my
ZX-7R, I fitted your crash bungs to it, and it was a pretty easy job. I
felt happy that in a low speed crash my bike should be fairly well
protected. At Snetterton recently, I was on the back straight and I was
travelling at about 140 mph. Upon braking for the left hander into the
chicane, I applied too much force to the front wheel and the front tyre
lost grip. The front of the bike slid to the left, throwing me off via a
low side to the right - I estimate that I was travelling at 120 mph at
this point. The bike slid for a full 300 metres. After being checked
over I was able to leave the medical centre and walk back to the pit
garage to see the mess that my bike was in. When I got to the garage I
was amazed at the state of my bike! I have attached photos of my bike in
the locations of where the most damage was caused to it. As can be seen
there is a large amount of friction damage to the right hand side of the
bike, which is to be expected. The left hand side of the bike is
untouched! As can be seen in the photos the damage is mainly cosmetic
and I only need to replace a few items to be able to ride it again; no
major structural damage has occurred and to cap it all off, it started
first time when I got back to the pits! Overall I am very happy with how
the bung held up under the treatment it was given; I was expecting it to
be completely useless at such speeds.
Thanks again for you product saving me a hell of a lot of financial
pain!
