I can't make up my mind on which axle and fork sliders to get. I've seen numerous sliders for sale, but I wanted to get some opinions/suggestions before I make the purchase. Anybody have any input on this topic?

Thanks,
Nick

Most people here recommend the dark horse sliders.

American Sport Bike has a good selection. I just bought their least expensive black plastic rear ones. Fit well, look good.

the DarkHorseMoto sliders from American Sportbike are the best. They've been proven time and time again.

My wife's got your exact bike Nick. The Sato racing ones from American Sport Bike look great on it.
