If you really want to save your fairings, you should invest in a crash cage or a speed cage. A crash cage wont allow you to take knee scraping curves because the cage will hit. if you get a speed cage you can still do those types of turns.

Also, you can get a 12'o clock bar for the back. believe me. I have used it before when I got side swiped and there wasnt any damage on the bike.
To think, a 12'o clock bar has two uses. One for saving your fairings and two for stopping you from flipping over backwards.

got any pics of your bike with these....don't think I've seen a "spped cage."

thanks bro

I dont have a cage on my bike I just know what it looks like from buddies. The crash cage is pretty big but it will save the fairings. a speed cage is pretty much just one pipe going from right in front of the shifter and rear brake and come forward to about the same spot or a little bit further then where the frame sliders would mount in at.

I will see if I can find any pics for ya

I agree with everyone else, your just gonna end up tweaking your subframe dude.

it sounds like your trying to make it so your bikes plastics will make it out of a crash without a scratch...this is impossible...sliders will help keep the damage limited but even if you went out and bought a full stunt cage they aint gonna save those plastics...they just help keep the damage to a minimal most of the time.
