These Front-engine mounted R&G crash protectors are suitable for the Triumph Speed Triple produced from 1997-2005.
See my other listing for the the Speed Triple Mid Engine mount crash bobbins (Images 3&4)
They have become the market leader in crash protection and are without doubt the highest quality and most effective protector on the market.
Individual designs for around eighty different models are available, you can view a comprehensive gallery of bike specific images on our site along with fitting instructions so you know exactly what it will look like before you buy!
R & G crash protectors are more than standard mushrooms they use de-embrittled high-tensile steel bolts, designed not to snap off on impact, and comprise of compression sleeves inside the bobbins, which are designed to scrub speed from crashes quickly and minimize damage to frames and fairings in most crash scenarios.
Some R & G mushrooms require fairing modifications, so please check the fitting guides before you buy.
Fitting Instructions the rubber washers should be thrown away!
Front engine mount / No modifications required
Please note that in cases where kits are packed with rubber washers holding the components onto the bolt –

Take the shorter M12 hex head bolt, pass it through the washer AND ALSO the original washer from the bike
Then pass it through the smaller of the two protectors
Slide one of the aluminium spacers up behind the bobbin
Offer the assembly up to the bike
Push the bolt through the hole - place original engine nut on the back and tighten bolt until you feel some compression from inside the protector. Turn a little more so that you feel the compression increase slightly. Then apply a quarter turn. Do not overtighten as damage can occur to the bike. Do not exceed 40nm of torque.
