Yes they had some one ebay. They were from canada. Not that bad of a price. I have never used them so I don't know how good they are.

I don't think it is possible unless you used put them on your handlebars, but then again those would'nt be called "FRAME" sliders now would they.

I tried to find a link to them on ebay. They mount around the frame with a bracket. I know some people have them on there bikes here.

just cut the fairing, its not that hard and will actually protect your frame if you go down, the no-cut sliders are garbage imo, they usually cause more damage than they prevent

dont buy the no-cut sliders, yea it sounds like a good idea but in the event of the bike actually falling, these types of sliders are horrible. it is very possible for these to cause more damage than good. just cut the fairing and call it a day, and besides its not as hard to do as some might think

You got to cut it, I ride with a guy that used a frame slider he got on ebay, it used your fairing bolts to hold them on. When he crashed the bolt snapped and so did his fairing. He put them on for show and not function which is the stupidest thing IMO! Might not happen to you but could happen. If you are trying to use them for stunting they dont protect that well try a frame bar or fairing cage, there is 1 made just for the F4I.
Oh I forgot the Honda dealership sells a template that guides you where to cut. It is pretty simple, you can use a dremel or Roto ZIp to cut the fairing then just tap it and then drill. I have never done it but seen it done, didn't look that hard. The guy said it was harder to do an under tail kit if that helps.
