This is old news. My sliders are on the way.

Correcto. And they do work. There are three options out there right now. I'm going for the traxxion tank sliders. Since my bike is black, they don't look too terrible. They deal on ebay, the sliders sell for 120 plus 10 shipping Here.
The ETI sliders are 180 bucks... you'll want to paint them as well
Here.
The adrenaline city racing ones are 100 bucks Here.
Here is a pic of some traxxion sliders that saved a guy's bike in a pretty bad crash... it was at like 120mph IIRC.
