Hi again, Does anyone have any experience of crash bars/bobbins etc on the scrambler or are they all a waste of time and pain. Just looking for some protection in case of it falling over at stand still or low speed.... cheers
I have these and was punted off the bike last summer by a woman in a car. The evotech frame bobbins and axle bobbins meant that the only damage was a scuff on the bar end, front axle bobbin, frame bobbin and mirror. Evotech sold me single replacement bobbins as spares. I was very impressed.
Be careful fitting though. You replace a main engine mounting bolt and if you’re clumsy doing this then you can crack the engine case. Supporting the engine is important when fitting.
I’ve got R&G on the cafe racer, same principle as the Evotech mentioned by @Simon Audi above just a different shape. Also had them on my dvt which saved the water pump casing when I tipped it over in the drive! Certainly worth it in my opinion
Are they easy to fit and do I have to support the engine, ie when I remove the mounting bolt will it drop out? cheers
I used a block of wood, nothing fancy, feed the R&G bolt In to push the original bolt out, easy peasy!
