What are you people using on the V4?
R&G R&G Racing Aero Crash Protectors (engine mounted) to fit Aprilia Tuono V4R | eBay
GB Racing **GB RACING** APRILIA RSV4 & TUONO V4R 2010-2015 Engine Cover Set | eBay
Puig Crash bobbins Aprilia RSV4/ Tuono V4 R Puigprotectors frame sliders mushrooms | eBay
Jaybee APRILIA TUONO V4 CRASH MUSHROOMS SLIDERS BUNGS 2011 ON FULL SET 8 BOBBINS TS36 | eBay

What's the score with R&G skidders, do they not stand out enough to protect what bit of fairing we have and so they offer the option above. Is it worth having those or an aero bung or just go for the skidders as that bit of fairing will be mullered anyway.
I prefer GB racings engine case covers to R&G's blobby design. But GB don't offer frame protection.
Quite like the Puig bungs as they seem to be more discreet than a bung. Wonder if they sell anything else, must google.
Failing that, anyone tried and tested the jaybee set?

I have the first one in your list.

Hi,

I have fitted the following:
* R&G frame protectors - as I think they look good plus I've seen a few bikes cartwheel when the R&G crash protectors dig in.
* GB Racing engine cases - agree as look better than R&G's
* R&G fork protectors
* R&G paddock bobbins - but thinking of changing these for a similar set up to the front, i.e. going through rear spindle

Hope this helps :)
 
I'm kind of swaying towards the skidder with bungs, don't know why this seems better than just a bung, although aesthetically I prefer the skidder on its own, but guess the extra bung may give more protection in a low speed off. I slid a gixer across a road on a bung, engine case and rear peg once. No plastics were damaged and it was around a 50mph low side.
But the engine cases do look vulnerable so the GB covers are on the shopping list. Just wish they did bungs so things could match.
