Like the title says. I've got a 2006 that I have a set of sliders that need to be installed. Any pointers that you guys have experience with ??? I don't want to F up the paint at all.

I would look for the no cut sliders, they are sweet. I just installed mine yesterday.

 

Im pretty sure no one ever recommends the no cuts. They can look good and everything but are practically useless. Theres been tons of incidents where a bike with no cuts has gone down and theyve caused more damage to the bike than had it not had any sliders at all. Theres a thread on here somewhere and a members bike tipped over and the no cuts cracked his engine case. Theres nothing supporting the back of the slider where all the impact is being taken so they just bend in and can puncture the engine or crack the case like weve seen plenty of times before. I get the whole not wanting to cut your fairings but i personally dont think its a big deal or looks bad and i feel it only adds value to the bike.

 

wow thanks for the heads up on that, I will look into that.

 

yeah just do a search on here its been covered a lot. Just look at whats behind the back of your sliders. If its sitting in front of your frame or something then id say your good, just might dent your frame though, which i guess actually wouldnt be good. But if theres some space and then your engine which they can bend back and hit that could be a real headache if you tip your bike over or lowside or something.

 

Yeah - no cuts are worthless and just more likely to flip your bike or snap off and cause additional damage.

if you're going the Frame slider route go cuts. I personally prefer Woodcrafts, but to each their own.
