OK I'm convinced...friend went down with none on...have seen a bunch of us do the same lately and I keep putting them off....

1) what kind?

2) best price/place?

thanks in advance!!

 

I have a set of Vortex still in the box. I have not installed them yet but I hope to this week end. In fact I bought a torpedo level today to do the install.

 

LSL!!!! The frame slider will take the slide at speed, and won't bend like the others. http://www.spieglerusa.com/cfm/FrameSliders.cfm
$59.00

You may remember that I went down a couple months ago, and when the bike went on its side only the sliders were on the ground. I took it in and had the tops replaced.

 

Wow, those are unique. I installed Vortex myself. Here's how I did it...

what the hell is a torpedo level?!?!? [&:]

 

Oggy *****.
They are Australian made so I don't know where you Americans can purchase them from locally, but they have backets and a nice stron reinforcement bar that runs in front of the engine block so they will easily tanke the weight of the bike if it drops. Best thing about them is no fairing cutting!
I will try and get some photo's of my 600rr with them up tomorrow.

 

no cut sliders usually just break off when you crash... esp on a bike like an RR where they are so far away from the frame holes they are mounted to.

I love my oes... they've been crash tested by a couple other members and have held up...

I have Lockhart Phillips.....happy with them, they were like $55 at Berts Megamall.

 

Just wrecked my bike on the 14th and I had frame sliders not really sure which ones just went to the Honda dealership and just had them order me a pair !! And they SUCKED just snapped off. So make sure you read into the frame sliders your going to get I went to http://www.spieglerusa.com/cfm/FrameSliders.cfm and they look and sound pretty good.

 

Does anybody know or does anybody have the OES "special alignment tool" What is it?
