They work in a tip over. only other scratch was little one on the clutch cover.

FYI, on the 1125, when it's in 2nd, you don't have to hold in the clutch to start it.

Frame sliders are good if you get decent ones.

Don't buy no-cuts. They will help you in a tip-over but if you have any sort of serious crash they can fuck your bike over real bad.

Get woodcrafts. And don't spring for the metal pucks, they are worse. You want delrin pucks. I'm actually surprised woodcraft even offers the metal bling pucks... they are usually all about functionality.

The no-cuts mount to your engine kount, Ebbs, not weaker points. Most of the no-cuts out there have shitty adapters and they aren't locked in place, making the adapter move up or down during a wreck and do more harm. This happened on my first bike, I had shitty no-cuts. So I smartened up and put Vortex on there during the fix. Vortex are a very good slider. They can handle a high speed wreck if it's just sliding on the tarmac or street. The person who bought my '04 R6 had a veru high speed wreck and the frame slider worked excellent. It slid and slid on it preventing much more potential damage. It was worn half way down, but it was still in the perfect cylinder shape, unlike many shitty quality sliders, they'll just warp and make it real hard to get it off.

I would say the best kind to get are the ones with the metal base and the puck attaches to it, like Vortex or Woodcraft. I had a buddy go down at the track this past Saturday and his frame slider held up pretty damn good preventing a bunch of damage, he just replaced his right rear set and he went back out.

Frame sliders are definately a great idea...as long as they're top quality ones.

actually... most no cut sliders I've seen mount to fairing tabs... not to the motor...

could be that most I've seen were for my bike and that's the easiest bolt to mount to

Yea I had Haris no cuts and the adapter bracket wrapped around the frame so it didn't move when I crashed. I think you can get good quality no cuts but I agree that for the most part you're better off with the cut in ones.

I highsided my bike at 108 mph and it stayed on the asphalt for the entire slide. I had R&G no cut sliders on the bike and I only sustained minimal rash to the bike and a broken rearset peg.

Sliders in general won't do a thing if a bike goes into gravel/grass and starts to tumble.
