Fitted my R&G crash protectors (uppers and lowers) & an official Yamaha tankpad – click here for the gallery. I though that the tankpad was grey originally, but it’s actually clear fading up into black, so it transforms to match the colour of the fuel tank. As I said in my previous post, I’ve seen the protection capability of the R&G protectors first hand and, after a bad experience with the similar Motrax “Top Blocks”, I’d definitely recommend these. I bought the whole set second hand and the bolt which holds the left hand lower protector was missing, but a quick trip to B&Q to get a pack of 10mm wall bolts soon sorted that out. Although the one’s which come as standard are 12mm, the sleeves are much thinner, so B&Q’s off the shelf items fit perfectly and grip the inside of the swinging arm pivot just fine.
