I've heard that from everyone on SVR. What makes them better than the other brands? Or are they just cheaper?

Truth. Had some other ones on the SV when the gf dropped it before, luckly didn't mess up the frame, but the bolts bent, even though the sliders were perfectly fine. I believe the through the frame bolt will be much more durable.

Me personally, I'd do smaller/brighter turn signals, ditch the reflectors, and a pipe to get rid of the sewing machine sound.

I had the motosliders before and I like them but never had to test them though. I went with T-rex sliders, because they were cheaper. Only $34! It has the frame bolt too and made of the same material. I am not sure if they are as long as the motosliders though but they were half the price!

I always thought that the SV's looked funny with all that space right behind the front wheel, it looks empty, like a little emo boy who has a butter knife and is trying to cut his own wrists but can't even manage to do that right. It looks much better with the half fairing on the bottom

I would get rid of the front and just have one or two small headlights with a Koso aftermarket gauge.
