Jaybee Biker Bits crash protection

[RipGroove]

Anyone got these?

At £125 for a full set of upper and lower frame pieces, front and rear axle pieces and paddock stand bobbins it seems like pretty good valve. Supplied hardware is all plated so won't rust so the quality seems OK too. Only unknown is the material properties and whether it's actually any good. They've quoted "cestilene HD500" but I'm not sure if how durable that is.


Found this on Google, seems good for wear resistance:

good wear and abrasion resistance (particularly PE-UHMW)
high impact strength, even at low temperatures (particularly PE-UHMW)
excellent chemical resistance
low density compared with other thermoplastics (~ 1 g/cm³)
low coefficient of friction
excellent release properties
very low water absorption
moderate mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance
very good electrical insulating and dielectric properties (virgin grades only)
excellent machinability
physiologically inert (several grades are suitable for food contact)
good resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays)
not self-extinguishing (except CESTIFLAME)

Just to add I am aware that frame sliders probably won't protect the engine cases on this bike so I'm also planning on getting these:

I did see those actually but for the full kit it's about £70 more IIRC. If the material is the same or similar then there's really no difference between the two other than the white lettering, which I don't personally like anyway.

I just sat on my bike with my leathers on and it looks like me knees will touch the upper frame bobbins, anyone else have knee issues with this style bobbins in the upper frame bolt hole?

£125 for the full set is seriously good value. Too good to be quality? Would love to hear some reviews.

Edit: There's a bit of negative feedback on the crash bungs.

Cool I'll have a read. If I knew what material to use I'd make my own.

That feedback doesn't seem that bad actually when you read in to it.

I have the R&G ones in that position and they've never been a problem.

good stuff

To ressurect an old thread...

I went down to Jaybee biker bits recently to buy some levers as its not far from me, and I can say the guy who runs it is a top bloke, proper old school engineering shop with lathes, CNC, drill presses etc,

Bought the levers and he even knocked me up some shims and a missing bush while i waited.

Huge stock of everything and if i was into tarty shiny bits i've had bought a load more stuff! Can't comment on the crash bungs but he does do a 'scrappage scheme' so if you come off and damage the bungs, send him some pics and he'll give you new ones for free. - can't fault that.

I'm not affiliated in any way other than as a happy customer, but credit where credits due...

Ive got R&G on mine too. No interface problems with my knees either.

I went with Jaybee in the end, don't really have much issue with knee clearance.
