Default sliders?

i did a search but didnt seem to see what i was looking for.

are there any sliders out there thatwill mount into the factory hole on the fairings that is located just about where your knee is placed when riding? ive seen one set on a bike but dont know if they just didnt want to cut the holes to mount or if there are some mfg that makes these for our bikes

Dont buy the crappy ones off of ebay that just screw into the factory holes. The bolts are cheap and the sliders themselves are cheap. They are complete and utter junk! I got ran off the road and ended up dropping my bike at like 5-10 MPH on bare pavement and the crappy slidder broke off the bike and still messed up my fairing.

yeah, Krash had the block type no cuts on his 01 f4i, the things snapped right off. I'd just get vortex or woodcrafts and cut the hole.

I think whats he is talking about is even worse than no-cut sliders. All it is, is a peice of plastic , spacer n bolt that replaces the recessed fairing bolt. The things 'might' help if a bike fell over sitting still, but doubtful. But in no way, shape, form, or fashion hold up in a crash. In a lowside the lil fairing bolt would definately beend it not just break off. Save the $20 those POFS cost and add another $50 and get some good Vortex's for about $70.

yeah, dont even bother with the "fairing" sliders or whatever they call them. they are retarded, and wont do a damn thing if your bike falls over.
like playfulgod said, just buy a real set or nothing at all
