Default R&G crash bung for shaft

I found this a day too late.

If you ever drop your GS, you hope that the crash bars will protect the heads, but I found that the rear of the shaft drive is a little exposed to damage too. So I found out that R&G do this little crash bung which will save the end of the drive housing.

I only hope that I now never need to use it.

Oh yes, a garage isn't complete until it is fitted with the finest Axeminster carpet.

ISTR that the R&G crash bung for the shaft is only listed on the R&G site as fitting the K series bikes but that it also fits the GS.
