Hello,

Was looking for some R&G uppers for the Gen 2 Tuono (100 quid :rolleyes) but R&G are a rip off, although there stuff is pleasing to the eye, as I have found out previously spares are expensive too.

Found some others in Italy not so expensive but may be difficult to get spares.

Found a place local to me down the road via ebay when looking at bobbins:

More function over form but emailed them and they are using my bike to make up some uppers and lowers which may be a damn sight cheaper than R&G stuff, just not as "branded". Obviously I get a discount :thumbup

Will update you when they are done if anyones interested.
 
Yes 100% intrested, I'm in the same boat, I think I should be able to get both top and bottom frame sliders for £100 or less and they can't be much worse than r&g.
 
:eek:I have crashed with R&G's (twice) and they do there job, if the bike slides they wear down, but if you hit the grass or whack it down quick even R&G's snap off as they are meant too so they dont damage, hopefully these will do the job.

However I dont want to be the first to try them out............:eek
 
come on dan, you started it, you should be the 1st to test em....

Last time I did that my bike looked like this (notice R&G upper snapped off (well it was second highside of the day on the same side))

All by lunch time of the first day of a Cadwell two dayer :lol
 
Taking my bike down to this guy on Friday does not think it will take long so jobs a good'un. Will update when they are ready.
 
Yes mate thats the idea :thumbup

A cheaper set of uppers and lowers can be made from my bike for all to purchase.

And yes Gen 2, think he already does the Gen 1.
 
I got some R&G crash bungs, they don't fit properly and they came with one spacer missing, been going on for three weeks now and still got no result.
Don't bother, there are others out there that do the same job without the grief, after sales is ****. I won't say where they were purchased from in case I offend to many people. Not their fault but it could be better!
