frame sliders
i'm lookin to get frame sliders for my 07 white cbr600rr. but i'm not sure which one is a dependable brand since i've never bought frame sliders before. there was a website that sold shogun crash kits for 129.00. it included, bar ends, frame sliders and spool sliders. is that a good price? and is shogun a top quality brand? if not what is?

Check that thread out. It might be in the 1000 area but it might give you and idea.

Black Shugun crash kit is good. Not any crazy carbon fiber or anything but if you are just looking for composite bar ends, no-cut frame sliders, and spools (which are useful later if you get a rear stand), for like $130. I have it on my bike and it looks good and is functional, although i havent tested it yet im assuming it works. If you want something gangter, look here... I thought about doing this but opted out.

RE: frame sliders
2 things to watch out for when buying Frame Sliders:
1) Avoid metal frame sliders. They can catch the pavement during a spill and cause the bike to flip and they do not provide adequate energy absorption in a crash (ex. solid steel oraluminum materialsshould be avoided)
2) Avoid the no-cut frame sliders. In a crash, depending on the degree of theoffsetbracket,increased torque stresseswill beput onto the frame mounting points. Companies that make these have to find a good balance for when the bracket shouldand shouldn't break. In a standstill fallover these can do the job ... but under any type of lowside/highside these are frown upon by serious riders.
I've had my bike pushed over with the KR Tuned slidersand they did their job well. No damage to my case cover/rearset/brake handle/and my side fairings.
As far as a brand, well:
I've heard mixed reviews for the Shoguns
Good reviews for Vortex Sliders, Satos, KR-Tuned

RE: frame sliders
no cuts are hit or miss
on the 1000rr no cuts are a death sentence because a tip over will crush the water neck
on the 600 sho guns arent that bad because the bracket braces up against the engine block with plenty of room on either side of the engine for the bolt to bend
on 600rr.net there are plenty of people who have crash tested the shoguns with pretty good results
even sato makes no cuts for the 600 now

RE: frame sliders
i went with a pair of shogun no cut frame sliders as well as spool sliders too. i got it all for 132, not a bad deal, is shogun a pretty reputable brand. anyone have good or decent experiences with this set of framesliders?
