When it comes to specifying crash protectors in Australia, the name on everyone’s lips is ‘Oggy Knobbs’. The good news for motorcyclists in the UK is that this leading brand is now available over here. Oggy Knobbs are available to fit most mainstream machinery and the range also includes a number of kits that don’t require any permanent modifications such as cutting and drilling of the fairing.
Oggy Knobbs are a highly engineered solution, using high-tensile steel mounting bolts and abrasion resistant high-grade nylon. The ‘no-cut’ kits use high-tensile steel brackets, with twice the strength of mild steel, providing a secure mounting and avoiding the need to cut holes in the fairing.
First used on race bikes, Oggy Knobbs are now widely used to protect road-going machines. Their cost is a fraction of the average bike repair bill, even one following a low speed drop in the garage.
oggyknobbs. The Oggy Knobbs range includes many hard-to-find ‘no-cut’ kits – meaning you won’t need to drill holes into your bodywork in order to fit them.
They are made using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and from only the strongest and resilient materials. Design Philosophy. The people at Oggy Knobbs take the design and quality of their products very seriously indeed. In fact, only the strongest and most resilient materials are used to ensure strength, performance and appearance.
State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques like CNC machining, laser cutting and MIG welding are used in the production process for accuracy and perfect fit. The brackets are made from high tensile steel alloy for great strength and minimal weight. The bolts are high tensile items, de-embrittled, zinc plated and clear chromated. The 'plastic' used in the sliders is actually Acetal for high abrasion resistance and strength. All metallic components are fully finished for corrosion resistance and durability as well as a pleasing appearance. See the picture above of an Oggy Knobbs kit for a Honda CBR600RR and you can appreciate the quality and workmanship that goes into every Oggy Knobbs product.
Some points requiring careful consideration during the design process are based on factors such as chassis design (Is the frame design and material used conducive to the use of crash protectors?), the location points on the bike (Will these be strong enough to take the force of a crash impact without bending the rest of the bike or breaking the cylinder head or some other component?), and what bodywork is involved (Will owners want to modify their fairings or can a version with brackets be designed to avoid any such modifications?). Naturally, the biggest question is what will Oggy Knobbs save in the event of a crash? The usual conclusion is that if we can save the fuel tank and radiator (where applicable), then the job is worth doing. Further protection of bodywork and other components is a bonus.
