Hey, they look to stick out further then my crash's.

[swabio-ACT]

So im lookin for crash knobs for my 05 zx636... where can i pick some up r&g knobs for a decent price??

My wife has an 06 636 and bought crash knobs, they had all the brackets etc and seem to be pretty good.

yeh i was thinking crash knobs aswell... where bouts did you get them from, how for how much?

well i did crash test my 05 ZX6R crash's twice..... they worked very very well. (the actual genuite crash knob brand) although the second time..... only a protective bubble would have stopped and damage..... ooops...... something about a bike tumbling down the side of a mountain road....... kinda fucks things up a bit!

Got em from southern highlands motorcycles, not sure of price, think it was around the $200 mark. They are quite pricey because they have the brackets etc.

They look great Nath, they kind of blend right in as opposed to the "Mushroom" style versions that offten look crap.

Bowral still has a dealer and Paul has started up a kawasaki dealership in Mittagong (new and used bikes, service parts etc) service prices are cheaper than most as labour rate is less, also you get a good job done first time. On the shelf prices may be high but if you ask you will get a better price than sydney/parramatta dealers. We've bought two bikes from him (GPX250, ZX636) both heaps cheaper than any deal I could get from another dealer.

just put my order in for knobs from rg-racing.com... should hopefully receive them in the next couple weeks... not looking forward to installing them tho... heard its a bit of prick to do it on the 05 zx6r...

plus last nite, i removed the rear fender (what a b!tch that was), and mounted the number plate to the exhaust with a couple small L brackets...

EDIT: Pic posted

I still have the cable that attaches to the globe on the original fender running through/under the exhaust. does anyone else still have that cable attached, just incase, or have they just cut it off?

easy to put the crash's on, just takes a bit of time coz youve got to remove the fairing side panels etc.

With your number plate remember that you still need to have a number plate light to keep it legal. You can use a superbright LED (couple of bucks from Dick Smiths) or get a small one from a trailer place.

Have you thought about putting on some mini indicators and making up a stainless steel shield for the exhaust? Like a CBR600 eliminator. I though about it but haven't got around to it yet.

arrgghhhh.... just got my crash protectors from rg racing.. you have to cut the fairing...!!! i was not keen on doin this...

i know i can get a set of crash protectors off ebay for $100 shipped that i dont have to cut the fairing, however they are not as good quality as the rg racing ones...

has anyone else had to cut the fairing?

[GForce]

i am also after frame sliders and have been looking on ebay. you can get them for 100 but dunno if they any good. how much do they usually cost at shops?
