Yep, he's talking about sliders... or shrooms... or "bobbins".. lol..
Blaziken, I've never seen them for this bike. I'd imagine if you really wanted to, you could cut and weld or make a bracket or something.
However, these bikes are designed with protectors that protrude from the upper frame. They are covered by a small plastic "banana" looking cover.

still i would like to protect them if possible,, there is a top engine bolt in the area that looks like a spot for "frame sliders" .. i was hopein' someone had a mod for it.
its really for thepushing about,& close shaves i'v had moving it about the yard.
if i fell off a 250kilo bike , i can't see sliders helping save anything

Sliders on a 1000F ? Hmmmm 
yuk!!
I use my own version when parking or maneuvering mine around slow ...
I just throw myself under her if she starts going over ...hurts a bit , strained a few bones and arm mussels doing it ....but it works fine
I recon with the weight of these older CBR's , at any slow or medium speed , hitting the ground would just trash the frame at the mounting points with any bars mounted on them ...

That's what I'd be worried about more than anything...... trying to attach to part of the frame that may not take a 500lb blow without bending or breaking something.
The factory protectors are bowed out pieces of extra frame, welded in 2 places. should be good and strong to take a slow hit.
