Frame Sliders... - Page 3

My wife dropped the R6 while turning at low speeed in the driveway and the frame sliders saved the bike from any damage.

They more than paid for themselves right there.

I know they are designed to protect the frame...not the fairings...that's why they're not called "fairing sliders"...but none the less they saved the fairings in this case which is an added benefit.

Hopefully we won't ever get a chance to crash test them.

Yup. I got the Graves no-cut that wrap around the frame a bit to keep the adapter in place.

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

i dont think they even make a cut slider for the 954, engine mount is right inside a hole in the fairing

well but they're probably just called SLIDERS not NO CUT sliders... as it's obvious you don't need to cut...

troof troof and of course its prob a moot point anyway since the only other 954 owner on here i can think of is osp and in some wierd way he would probably like the bike more if it got banged up so he had a good excuse to do some fightering'
