R&G Super Bike Fork Protection

R&G Super Bike Fork Protection on Suzuki GSXR 1000


The thought of spending money on crash protection can seem strange because it feels like preparation for things to go wrong. 

We believe that it's easy to look at the price of crash protection as a 'cost' but if you love your bike/s as much as we love ours, then you should consider crash protection as an investment rather than a big expense. 

We're sure you will have heard of R&G Racing before, but if you don't already have any of their crash protection on your bike, you won't know how easy their kits are to install. The good news is, they're not just easy to fit, but also, they really do protect the bike against expensive damage in the event of an off.

Trust us on this one, we've been lucky enough to test them out!


This is Birotar Jonjo attempting to power out of the final turn in Cartagena, Spain
Unfortunately, Jonjo wen't down later on in the day.
This R&G Engine Casing protection prevented potential engine damage to the BirotarUK ZX6R

The Ninja is still ridable after Jonjo's off - we can't say the outcome would be the same if the R&G Engine Casing Protection wasn't fitted.

Anyway, you're here to see how easy the Fork Protection is to install, but first, here's what comes in the package:

R&G Fork Crash Protection Box Contents


Included in the R&G Fork Crash Protection box you'll find:

1 x Instructions
1 x Stainless Steel Rod 
2 x Crash Bungs
2 x Fork Adapters
2 x Nuts
2 x Washers
2 x R&G Stickers

Fitting the part is incredibly easy and will take less than 10 minutes!

Step 1: Simply slide the Rod through the fork spindles

Step 2: Slot the adapters onto the end of the rod and push them in so that they sit flush against the forks (note: the two adapters are different, make ensure that you check the adapters are on the correct side before moving onto step 3 - the large neck bobbin goes on the left).


Step 3: Add the bung to the end of the rod




Step 4: Slide the washer and nuts to each side of the rod and tighten. There is no need to over-tighten the nuts, they will hold on tight.


Step 5:
Step back and admire your hard work! 


We couldn't believe how easy this kit is to install, and we're sure you will too. Hopefully, we won't ever have to test them out...
