RE: Frame Sliders on a 93
I've never understood why people damage their fairings just so they can protect them from damage. I don't see the difference between a two inch hole for the slider or a two inch gash from road rash. Yes, you have to drill a hole in your left and right mid-fairings. I have the same 'Captain America' 93 900RR and I could never intentionally take a drill to my best girl. They look fugly to me and if you decide you don't like them after they're installed, it's too late.

Frame Sliders are not just to protect the fairings, but also the frame and many other components depending on the bike. I've seen more than one radiator saved by sliders.

RE: Frame Sliders on a 93
ya i think that a 2" hole and keeping ur original fairings is better than them totalled and you have to get crappy miscolored ones of ebay or find someone to repaint new ones but either way you are lookin at a grand easy or the two hundred for sliders.
i think i might have to cut my girl
but it will be for the better
stynk monkey can u post up pics of urs w/sliderS?
thanks
