Wear Protection! - See how I installed some R&G Frame sliders - crash bungs - to my Kawasaki Z650

Hi,
I took a lot of time to prepare myself to get back into biking, and I’m now doing the same for my bike. I’m preparing it for a ‘less experienced’ rider and giving me peace of mind at the same time!
In this video, you’ll see me install the first part of the protection kit I’ve got for my 2021 Kawasaki Z650, the R&G Products Frame sliders (sometimes called Crash Bungs).
All of this is new to me, I’m no expert, but it’s worth showing you how I did it, even as a novice mechanic. You can do it too!
I did get got some help when I got stuck, but that’s no bad thing!
Remember, it’s always best to ride with protection ;)
Thanks for watching, please subscribe for more on my wonderful Kawasaki Z650. You’ll see what other accessories I’ve chosen, and how to fit them, I’ll also take you on my ride outs and will review the kit I use!
If there’s something you’d like to ask, or for me to do a video on, let me know…!
Hope to see you on the road soon!
Mrs ZedRunner

I had R&G sliders on my z650 and the bolt on the left side snapped in half from normal road riding and left half the bolt still on the engine with the captive nut so it couldn't be removed. My local Kawasaki dealer said it might be a engine remove job and cost a decent amount. Luckily the mechanic just used a Dremel on the bolt end and managed to get it out. But it made a bit of a mess of the engine and the metal captive area. Replaced both with factory engine bolts. If you look at Kawasaki's own genuine frame sliders they don't remove the factory bolt. Was the previous owner who got them installed but after that I will never put anything R&G on my motorcycles. Cheap tat as far as I'm concerned. I've had 4 R&G tail tidys in total snap on my old zx6rs and 10r. Replaced both with oem fenders and they never broke once. I've seen several others with failing frame slider bolts on forums. Stay well clear of anything aftermarket of critical bolts ect

Hi, thanks for your comments. Sorry to hear your experience with R&G has been poor, and thank you for your recommendation on own.
