dude do yourself a favor and save yourself a huge headache and financial duress, gettem put on.....

 

i have some. tipped over walking it through a turn(sucks when you have shorter legs and the front and back wheels get on a high part of the road and you cant touch any more)
just a little nick on the frame slider.. and i have shorter ones that only stick out about an inch... i didnt get the sliders to protect the fairings..

 

I'm with voodoochyl... I don't have them personally, but I think they're great... as for me, well, I just got the bike yesterday and haven't gotten around to getting sliders for it yet.

 

just likea rubber or a gun........its better to have them and not use it than need it and not have it haha use the drill onesnot the 2 piece ****

 

Does my cage count?

 

i dunno guys. . i recently had an accident at speed. . i probably went down at 80-90 at jennings gp last weekend slowing for turn one and then lowside. . guess what i had. . .

vortex frame sliders. it ground it down most of the way. i cracked the rear tail section and rashed the upper, small crack on left sie fairing (when it went down)

broke a rearset and clutch lever

total repair bill (minus paint): 67.xx for (new frame slider puck, rearset bracket, clutch lever)

and my bike will be rideable again tonight (also had to restraighten the forks.)

i will be painting on friday (royal blue with silver wing kit)

but if i didn't have any sliders or those no-cut jobbers i would have a totalled bike
