they say there made out of billet aluminum, and i would just get black anyway. but anyone used these or know more about them?

its not the price im really worried about its the not having to cut your fairing. and the time of the install too.

cutting a fairing is no big deal, you just have to measure it a bunch of times. if you have a stand and a laser pointer you can knock it out in 10 mins.
aslo, those sliders have a thin *** bolt. i guarentee that at the first drop they will either break off or bend.

+1 on Vortex Sliders

Those'll snap off in a crash

Yup, those little bolts will break off, and you'll end up not only with fairing damage, but a hole with a broken off bolt in it.

Do it right, get Vortex.

Those look incredibly weak. They would've survive a crash. Don't get those.
