Do these things serve a purpose or is it for "looks"? Anyone have them?

I think Cory looked into the ballistic frame plugs... I think? 20 gauge I think on the S4RS?

Plugs on the SBK are a bit bigger than the Monster, Kevin are you talking about the 5 pack that AMS has for sale for the 848?

I would like to know also.  I need some frame plugs for the mods we did on the monster. (Now I have to specify which bike I am talking about - that's awesome!   ;) ;))

I would venture a guess to say that the plugs for the 848 are asthetic only.  Covering up the mounting bolts is the only thing they would do IMO

For the monsters with a tail chop is necessary to keep debris and water from going down in to the frame and collecting

I didn't realize that.  THanks for the info.  Guess that makes sense though.  I will have to fix that problem ASAP!

I'd like to see what the SBK looks like with the plugs, but I wouldn't pay $50 for mods that don't really add anything to the bike.  Plus they don't come in the grey to match the frame of the unicorn.

The monsters you can shove shotgun shells, the stock bar ends from the stock bar, or buy fancy anodized frame plugs.

Or even freebies from McK's dead 750 [thumbsup]
