well i'd agree with you all on that, but i've actually seen a no-cut hold up pretty good on an 08 that crashed, because on the 08 no-cut there is a second mount point to spread any impact load out, and prevent (or at least reduce) any torsion on the frame ...but i mean it's true that cut sliders are more reliable! i do have cut sliders on my Ducati. But to give my no-cuts additonal support i added a pair of sato racing engine sliders on the 08 so its not that bad, i didn't have to do any modifications or trimming on my bike for the no-cuts. I'm not gonna dispute the fact that cut sliders are better than no-cuts because they are, but everyone has their preferences, if God forbids that i do have a major accident i wouldn't be worrying about my bike or whether if the sliders had hold more than myself, i'd just buy a new bike!...that's why i say everyone has their own preferences, while knowing the advantages and disadvantages.

With that said, the T Rex frame sliders look like they are strong enough to handle that kind of accident. They come with a 1/4" steal bracket that follows the frame. (I can post pictures later) There is nothing underneath it that could be punctured or damaged.
I chose the no cuts because if I drop the bike it will probably be because I was stupid and forgot to put my kickstand down or something. Im pretty confident in my riding abilities. I wanted something to be there to protect the fairings. To me, cutting a hole in the fairing to add a frame slider defeats the purpose of protecting the fairings from damage.
To each his own.
