In the Full Fairing Pics thread, I noticed that the fairing has a recess cut out directly under the frame where "jap bike" style frame sliders would go. In some of the pictures there are sliders coming out of that recess. I would like to know if there is an aftermarket kit that can be bought to mount sliders like that, or if it is something fabricated on the bikes. I already am aware of the LSL and Rizmoza sliders, but I want to get those big round style sliders instead. If anyone could help it would be appreciated. | ||

Nope - the sliders that fit those cut-outs are WELDED to the chassis/fuel tank. I haven't seen any that bolt onto the bike that hit those cut-outs you're talking about. | ||

The only place to "bolt on" a set is to the engine mounts. You do not want to use these kind. Al at asb refuses to sell the LSL sliders because of the impact (literally) they have in a crash. Unless you want to weld them onto your frame, you are out of luck. | ||

Thanks for the input, unfortunatly I figured as much.  | ||

You can also use the Buell frame "bumpers" that stick onto the frame itself. I haven't wrecked mine, so I don't have first hand experience with what they do in a crash, but they seem like they would do a good job. I also like the fact that they are designed to absorb an impact instead of just slide. Anybody have any first hand experience with these? | ||

They work well. For the money, they are the best available. If yours doesn't have them, get them. Make sure, though, that you follow the directions regarding installation. They only work if they are installed correctly. | ||

When I bought my bike new last year, I had the dealership install the frame guards for me. So not only do I have them, but they should be installed the proper way. Thanks for the feedback guys.  |
