I've been onto the R & G site as i'm after some Cotton Reels & Fork Protectors/Sliders.
All great they have the product but they charge 2 x set's of delvery for the items.
£8.67 seems a bit steep to me for a set of fork sliders & cotton reel's which really don't weigh that much!
I'm probably being a cheapskate but wondered if anyone knew of a place other than their website that's a bit cheapers as the Manufacturers website's generally tend to be a bit more pricey than a normal bike shop/site!

Cheaper than replacing the bits of bike that grind away on the ground should you have an incident?
I tested a R&G crash bung on my old bike and it amazed me just how much of the fairing was protected overall.

Dont follow the crowd,especially with a Suzuki!

Go Yoshi, The swing arms protectors/cotton reels and fairing protectors look nicer and are very well made and there even cheaper than R n G to top it off...

I paid £17 for a universal kit for both front and rear axles on my GSXR..4 bungs and a metre or so of threaded rod you cut to suit the axle length. Work just as well and over half the cost Vs R&G..
