Good frame sliders are worth their weights in gold. I prefer Woodcraft and RhiniMoto.

Have you "crash tested" the Woodcrafts? I'm waiting to see what Suzuki does with the '09 GSXR1000 asit's a remodel year but if it's similar to what they have now,I'm going to keep my bike and totally re-do it. I really like the closed end look of them.

I have the LP sliders on the SV, and they help, mostly to save the radiators as there is not much for plastic on it.

the 1125 came from the factory with "sliders"
Them big ugly pods everyone bitches about are designed to take the impact, and at only $50/each its not too bad.

really? damn didn't realize they were designed to take the impact... I was wondering how they were gonna figure out sliders... pretty cool...

yup, about the only good thing about them.

[Mr Lefty]

They wouldn't have done me any good- you could see that from the damage. Smashed headlight surround would not have been saved. 35mph low side.

On the other hand, they DID save an '02 GSXR on the track. He had aluminum woodcraft sliders. The slider wore down a bit, and the bolt bent, but the only damage on the bike was a few scratches that are barely noticeable. His swingarm spool broke off, but the swingarm was clean. 30 mph high side.
