Anyone try these yet?
Hey all, I am a new poster, butI have been reading a lot of good info here for a few months. Anyways, I have installed some frame sliders for my 07 CBR600. Just wanted people to know that these are another option for no-cuts on the 07 and 08 models. What I like about them is that they have three mounting points and they seem pretty stout. They anchor to the engine mount bolts, and to two of the cover bolts. I chose them thinking there would be less chance of these brackets folding over in the case of an impact. Here are some pics...

They look pretty good, and solid. I wouldn't wory about thaem bending.
The only thing I'd be worried about would be that the mounting on the engine covers could potentialy transmit the impact energy from a fall straight into the engine cover/ engine. Don't know how much of an issue that would be since the engine is a stressed part of the chasis anyways. I went with the through-the-fairing style for cost, availability, and the above stated reason, but love the way yourno cut sliders look. |

I thought of that too, but then I realized that I always see scars on engine covers anyways because that always seems to hit the ground first. I think theclutch and stator coversare stronger than we give them credit for. Anyways, who knows what the future holds, hopefully nothing bad....

You got a great point there;
if the covers can handle a direct assault from the pavement during a fall, the sliders can only add to the protection. I didn't think of that. |
RE: Anyone try these yet?
Do they have these for an 06 600RR?

Looks good & I think your rational for attaching it to engine cover was a smart thing to do. Safe Riding!!!
