Is it better to get cut or no cut frame sliders. Has anyone got any pics of either the cut or no cut sliders

 

i see that you are new so first let me introduce you to some forum norms.

search first. this question has been asked a lot. a whole lot in fact.

but to answer your questions, you are going to find opinions either way because no slider works in all situations. some like the satos are meant for sliding across the road but will shatter if you tip the bike over.

some no cuts will crush the waterneck on the water pump and require you to remove the engine to fix it.

06/07 cuts require a half moon in the plastics while 04/05s require a full circle.

take some time, do some searching. look up the pros and cons of each then make your own decision because in the end. its your bike

but check this site out
www.hooliganbiketech.net
and look up shogun no cuts for the 1000rr page.
it shows the waterneck damage i was talking about

 

^^ Good information.

I vote for getting the "cut" style. They're the strongest, cheapest, and easiest to install. (cutting a hole in your fairings is extremely simple, just have to make DAMN sure you measure and get the drill point right.) I like using the laser method. You'll find a lot if you search on here too like baxsom said. There's quite a few write up's on here for frame sliders.

Also, I would recommend getting the non-metal ones. Metal sliders have a tendency to catch the road during a slide and "possibly" flip the bike/cause more damage than the plastic-ish ones that grind down while it slides. Not to mention, the plastic-ish ones absorb the initial impact from the bike hitting the ground the first time, the metal ones will send the energy from the initial impact directly into the bike's frame, which isn't really a good thing.

 

I just had mine cut today with crome sliders put on it. I will post pics of it when I bring it home tommorow.

 

i guess you didnt see the part about the metal slider thing. they dig into asphault and cause the bike to flip.

+1

also, check out motovation no-cut frame sliders. they are nothing like the cheap azz shoguns. i have them on my bike. extremely well built.

+1 on the Motovation sliders. I've got the cut ones and they're stout. Haven't had to test them out though.

 

Here is what the cut ones look like

Ok I have read evrything everyone has had to say about the cut and no cut sliders. But I still pose the question. I know it is a mtter of taste and choice. Which ones are the better ones. Which one will cost the least inflicted damage to the motorcycle. Also which one work best for a 2007 CBR1000RR. thank you for your mentorship on this gentlemen.
