I want a new one of these and am struggling to identify the part number. Can anyone assist? Thanks.
 
It looks to me like an aftermarket part. The unadorned view of the cardan drive would show a wide metal cylinder which the plastic part in question hides. Try Evotech as that might be a complementary part to the crash bung pictured.

Sorry to hear that.

So did the crash bung save you some money or do you think it wasn't worthwhile??

You can see that it took a big whack and I am pretty sure it would have prevented damage to the other components were it not for the bike hitting the kerb. I think that is where the additional damage to the rear hub components occurred.

And I have ordered another so I guess I must have faith that it saved my bike from a lot more scratches!! That said, there was £4.5K of cosmetic damage!

Well most importantly glad you are ok.
 
Hmm,

Aren't crash bungs meant to prevent that from happening


ie. they are the sacrificial bit ?

I think the damage to the casing is due to it hitting the kerb, rather than sliding down the road.
 
Third fall in 32 years of riding occurred last week. Second time this year though!! Same thing. Beautiful early morning. Hit black ice. Bike down and frame whacked same knee in same place. Brilliant.
