Title: Frame slider's, Case guards, Worth it or just Bling???
Post by: Daytona on May 28, 2006, 02:31:29 PM: I'm in a thither! Need to cut my busa fairing to install round plastic frame slider's. But unlike the Bandit with a easy repairable frame this is aluminum and they bolt to the fwd top eng mounts. Any have any experiences? Do they save anything or just bling that may actually do more damage in an unfortunate situation??? :duh: :beers:

SBK on Speed rite now in case you forgot!!!!

I found drilling a hole as close to the spot needed, and with fairing in place i used the drill bit like a router for just the slider hole needed. The Busa has a plastic fairing. Fibre glass etc may need sawing. They say to use a 2" hole saw but that's too big. :motorsmile: [/b]

Er, you asked! Unfortunately, bikes that go down almost never cooperate by landing just on the end of their frame sliders and nothing else. it's usually a "3-point" landing.
