Frame Sliders...

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.

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.
