Not if you want to to work properly n not just be bling

 

Those woodcraft ones do look nice. What they say concerning extended surface area seems intersting to me as well. They say it's good for extended puck life, but to me it would seem best for distribution of force. Anyways, woodcraft gets a lot of good reviews on other forums. I'd get them!

 

I have those same cheap sliders, but in black and from ebay. Good to know they work well, haven't gotten to use them yet :-)

I did not have to cut or do anything to them, just get longer bolts

 

... how the heck could you possibly install these frame sliders without drilling through your plastics? I could see it on a street fighter or a rat bike, but yeah definitely not on the stock full fairing'd bike... or are you discuss the F4i now?

 

Glad to hear you are o.k, and pretty remarkable that you are not shaken up too....

 

I think Halffast was saying that he didn't have to alter the sliders themselves, but you will still have to cut a hole in the bodywork.

 

I suggest sticking with sliders that have a derlin puck too. Anything else could catch n not slide as intended n cause more damage.

 

I don't have any fairings, so when I moved the sliders to the correct place the only thing that was required was longer bolts

 

those should have came with the sliders. Also with solid sliders like those, be it derlin, plastic, or wtfe, theres a good chance they will snap right off, esp with the extended one . Thats why all the major brands are 2pc. SO this comes down to the aged old saying, you get what you pay for

 

Mine is a single piece... and as you can see it didn't snap right off, it worked great and did it's job.


Also, the bolts really are the incorrect size on these extended frame sliders. They're meant for the F3, and the bolts therefore are too short for the F2.

The stock size frame sliders don't stick far enough out to clear the plastic, so they aren't really all that extended.
