Oh yeah, I also bought frame spools and front and rear stands from T Rex. Everything was great quality. Money well spent.

ps I wrote the instructions on how to install no cut frame sliders for them. Let me know what you think if thats the way you decide to go.

 

Thanks for your help Jimbo, but I've already decided that I'm going to get Cut Sliders. My last bike was totaled completely because of fairing and stator cover damage. The frame, tank, and engine weren't touched but it was still totaled. I'm not worried too much about a tip over's in the garage, thats what I'm getting stands for. I'm worried about dropping it at 40 like I did last time. I know it won't stop all damage, but hopefully it will keep my bike from totaled based on a cracked/scraped left side and tail should I lay it down like I did last time. Thanks for your help.

 

A crash at 40mph will more than likely cause damage to your fairings and Stator. Frame sliders are meant to protect what they are named after. The Frame. They will protect a lot of the bike at a low low speed crash. But at higher speeds the plastics most likely see pavement.

 

Well I ended up buying a rear stand, a pair of spools, and the cut sliders from T-Rex and the total came to $113 shipped, so I'm happy, but now I can't wait for them all to arrive. Thanks for all of your help guys!

 

i have the t-rex on my FJR and it has been dropped twice on both sides and they worked great. never been down when moving but while heavily loaded and they held up fine.

 

should have got the front/rear combo

also, spools aren't that great cause they can be ripped off. the universal attachment that lifts from the bottom of the swingarm is better, also because you don't have to be as accurate as hitting a spool.

if you have to run spools, you're better off with the small button type and axle sliders which can take a hit. The oversized spools are like no-cut frame sliders in the way that they are marketed and made to look like protection but they really suck at it

 

I agree n diagree with your post lol. You can't beat spools, they are alot more secure n stabler than the sw pads.

Now I do agree that the spool/sliders dont work all that great far as protection goes n the axle sliders are def better. But the spool/sliders wouldn't cause any more damage than not having them if they were to break off (8mm or 10mm bolts, its very likely) just snap off at the swingarm tab.

 

+2 on these! LSL makes good quality products. Woodcraft are nice but the company pissed me off when I had my Triumph S3. However I no longer run frame sliders due to what I've scene them do to a bike. The no cuts are garbage in crashes and do more damage! Plastics are frame sliders!!!

 

umm no lol

 

Not that you want them to be but lets face it. Plastics are for:

1. Aerodynamics
2. Looks
3. To protect the motor and frame
