    Hi all, Newbie to site. looks great by the way.
    Thought I'd attatch couple of pictures of my rsvr.

    Am gonna jump straight in with a question.......

    Two weeks before xmas, some doddery old twonk side swiped me on way home from work ! !
    RESULT : Broken bike/Broken collar bone ! !

    Anyway, bike now off for repair, only problem is sourcing the gold anodised engine bungs. I bought them second hand off fleabay.......

    Any one any idea where I can source these from ?
    They have said they will fit R&G ones, but have grown to like the gold ones !
    I know, I'm sad !

    Many thanks in advance

    Skippy

    Yeah,Cheers fella.
    Damage was mainly cosmetic, Front fairing, N/S upper and lower fairing and the usual levers, indicators etc.

    could have been a lot worse. Been on a jig and the frame and forks are all ok.
    Physio on shoulder when collar bone calms down a bit.

    Think my riding knowledge is better than my computer knowledge ! Didn't expect the pictures to be that big !

    First off, welcome noobs. Ok, I know I'm from the states, here in Pennsatuckey but what the hell is a bung? I guess it's to plug the bunghole of course!?!? LOL!
    Pro-tek carries and has tons of anodized parts. AF1 often uses them. My personal favorite are the Engal. They make really nice stuff and the coloring last long as well. Not sure if they carry what your looking for. I don't know where the bung plug goes?? I got one for my girl but I don't think she uses it the same way

    Hopefully you got a little laugh. Good luck. Hope you feel better soon. Be safe out there.

    ^^ Yeah, I've not seen those before. Is it just termi mufflers or a full slip-on?

    Slip ons. And they do sound fantastic. Shame they're sitting in garage as assesor came out to check bike before carting it off. Had forgotten how big original system is
