It's the best investment you can make. I just put mine on the other day and it wasnt to hard using the putty method. came out perfect. only took about an hour too.

 

My 06 was down once, before sliders...wish I had them...was going slow...still wish I had them...got them now...hope I stay up...wish I had them then...get it...get them...now...

 

Put mine on a week or two ago, just took a couple hours(most of that spent being a puss about it not wanting to drill out the fairings but they came out nice, and hopefully I won't need to use them but if I do they're there...

As far as the swingarm sliders, is there a place on the 99 f4's for those to mount into or do you have to have tabs welded and tapped?

+1 on the "no cut sliders are crap, don't even go there" he is right
If I were you Lowcash I would put a crash cage with sliders, it'll protect your bike better than just sliders IMO
Also get someone to weld some sliders (spools) for your swing arm, there's a website that does that for you if you buy their spools I don't recall the name though[sm=imsorry.gif]

 

sliders are a good mod for new riders because, chances are you will drop it. they're there to protect your plastics and stuff like your bar ends. i dont have them on mine, IMO i think they're ugly.

 

hey guys im not dead (yet) thanks for the input. if you come up with the name of that company for the spools lemme know. In regards to the cage. i heard they are ugly as sin.. any pictures?

 

saw one on a R1 lastnight that looked fine, but I'm not sure what brand it was...

Anything looks better than cracked plastic right?

 

Yes frame sliders are a good bang for the buck!!!
But never think that ur goin to drop or wipe out on ur bike thats the way i put it and im only 17 120 pounds lol ridin for 2 years and nothin has happin to me.
also dont go with the no cut sliders
best luck

 

There are 3 posts here (at least) saying that NO-CUT sliders are crap, but absolutely NO explanation why. WHAT makes a no cut slider worse than the standard ones?

As far as I can tell, they just have a deeper "mounting peg" that goes to the base of one of the engine bolts, whereas the standards have a wide base section (and therefore require cutting of the fairing).

Can anyone explain exactly why no-cut frame sliders are inferior???
Thanks!

 

i have no cut sliders and when i went down it snapped the bolt and broke off and i was only going about 15 mph atleast it took the blunt of the fall and all i got were some scratches on my stator cover and fairing
