Product Information

Full details

The R&G Motorcycle Crash Protectors (CP0532BL) are essential protective gear for motorcycle enthusiasts looking to safeguard their machine's frame, engine, and fairings during accidental drops, slides, or crashes. Designed for both casual street riders and track-day participants, these bobbins provide a robust layer of impact mitigation that can significantly reduce repair costs; however, users should note that these are designed as sacrificial components and may require replacement after a major impact.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will these protectors work on all motorcycles?

No, R&G crash protectors are model-specific. Always check compatibility for your exact make and model before purchase.

Do I need special tools to install them?

Standard mechanic's tools, including a torque wrench and a set of sockets or hex keys, are typically required.

Can I replace just one side if I crash?

Yes, replacement bobbins are generally available as individual components, allowing you to replace only the damaged side.

Does the aero shape affect top speed?

The impact on top speed is negligible, but the teardrop shape is designed specifically to be more aerodynamic than traditional blocky sliders.

Should I use thread-locker (Loctite) on the bolts?

Follow the specific instructions included with the kit. Generally, only use thread-locker if explicitly advised, as correct torque is the primary method of security.

Troubleshooting

Bolt feels loose after installation

Verify that the compression sleeves are properly seated and that the bolt has been torqued to the manufacturer-specified value.

Bobbin has deep gouges or cracks

The protector has performed its duty by absorbing impact. You should replace the affected bobbin to ensure continued protection for the next ride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the CP0532BL protectors should be performed by someone comfortable with basic motorcycle mechanics, as it involves removing and replacing structural engine or frame bolts. Always verify that the MPN (CP0532BL) matches your specific motorcycle make and model before starting.

Ensure the bike is stable on a paddock stand or center stand.
Locate the mounting points as indicated in the included model-specific instructions.
Apply the correct torque settings to the supplied high-tensile bolts.
Check the bobbins periodically for wear or surface scratches after heavy use.

Keep the bobbins clean from road grime and chemicals that could degrade the composite material over time. If a bobbin sustains a significant impact, inspect the mounting bolt for deformation and replace the unit immediately if damaged.
