Best Brand of Frame Sliders?
 
I just got an 02 f4i and am looking to get some frame sliders. What would you guys recommend for a good brand/type?

At first, I was going with a set of cheap ebay sliders, but I searched the forum and the majority recommended the Vortex sliders. After all of the searchin the world, I ended up with the woodcraft's, they are slightly more expensive than the vortex... :p

I like the design of the woodcraft over the vortex, that is why I chose them. If something were to happen and go down, wont be digging a bolt of the center of the puck.

dont have to worry with digging the bolt out, new vortex pucks come with a new bolt.

Vortex, Shogun, or woodcraft are all good brands. Just stay away from no-cuts.

vortex is the best way to go...you can easily swap the puck rather than the whole slider

Well
IF your getting sliders u better off just getting race rails, they stick out further, and protect a lil more of ya bike
I got a set of RAcing 905 race rails instead of sliders on mine

That is to be debated. Race rails are higher, can get in the way of your legs depending on ride position, are more expensive, and can aid in damaging the top of your motorcycle at a higher speed crash.

I personally don't recommend rails or cages to anyone that doesn't intend on dropping their bike. The bigger protection methods are more for stunting - an average street bike will be fine with frame sliders. Besides, the important part of the bike is the frame anyway - a large misconception is that they're designed to save your plastics.
